HAARVILLE (PB)

Off the grid and definitely not on the maps, Haarville is shrouded in fog and steeped in pungent pongs. Everything here smells fishy, especially the town's suspicious new arrivals. Twelve-year-old Manx Fearty is an orphan (his family has a terrible habit of dying, terribly), and now he's about to lose their perpetual device shop to sinister newcomers claiming to be long-lost relatives. As he sets out to prove them wrong, Manx finds himself on the trail of a murky, mist-muddled mystery -- and it's one he needs to solve fast, otherwise Haarville is doomed. Can he save both his family's legacy and his town?
