Quirky fourth-grader Oggie Cooder goes from being shunned to everyone's best friend when his uncanny ability to chew slices of cheese into the shapes of states wins him a slot on a popular television talent show, but he soon learns the perils of being a celebrity--and having a neighbor girl as his manager.
Eleven-year-old Verbena Polter gets through a difficult summer of turbulent emotions and the revelation of a disturbing family secret with an odd new friend who believes she is the ghost of a girl who drowned many years before.
Melody has lived in Royal,
Indiana, for as long as she can remember. It’s always been just her and
her father, and she’s okay with that. But then she overhears him
calling someone Honey — and suddenly it feels like everyone in
Royal has a secret. It’s up to Melody and her best friend, Nick, to
piece together the clues and discover why Honey is being hidden.
Meanwhile, a dog named Mo arrives in Royal. He doesn’t remember much from when he was a puppy… but he keeps having dreams of a girl he is bound to meet someday. This girl, he’s sure, will change everything. If only he knew who she was.
