Description

Age range 7 to 10

Eddie and Molly-Jean are next door neighbours and best friends. One Saturday, Eddie's mom sends him up to the attic to get his great-grandpa's most prized possession (a book, of course). Eddie and Molly-Jean are suddenly transported to India where they must use their word knowledge to solve a mystery and help a new friend save his school.

This new series will follow the two best friends as they discover the hidden stories behind common words. Using their Awesome Enchanted Book and a healthy dose of imagination, the daring duo transport themselves to exotic locales, always encountering new adventures and learning how different cultures have contributed to the English language along the way.

Reviews

"A fast-paced mystery... reminiscent of Mary Pope Osborne's "Magic Tree House" series.... Etymology is the distinctive feature here, and its importance is reflected in every part of the text. The cultural awareness implicit in the book's themes is reflected in the diversity of its characters as portrayed in both text and illustrations. The work as a whole feels very child centered, and is likely to appeal to a broad range of readers. This winning series opener is full of fun and facts." -- School Library Journal, STARRED review
