Book 1: The Map of Heritage Hollow
When a mysterious green light starts drifting over the swamp at the edge of Heritage Hollow, two clever raccoon siblings decide to find out what it means before anyone else in town even notices something’s wrong. Sharp-eyed Slick keeps careful watch from the old clock tower; his quick-witted sister Muffin never lets him get away with taking himself too seriously. Their search leads them from the roar of an old water wheel to a farm stand run by a boy carrying more worry than any eleven-year-old should, from a zoologist who talks to owls to a scientist whose AI never sleeps — and finally, together with the whole town, to an answer waiting in the dark water itself. Along the way, young readers pick up real navigation skills, real vocabulary, and real math, all stitched into a mystery that rewards patience, honesty, and the courage to ask for help. Book One of the Heritage Hollow series, where a town keeps its old stories and its new ones side by side — and where the answers are always worth walking toward.

Book 2: The Bones Beneath the Glass
A new mystery is waiting under the museum’s glass. When a mysterious stone fragment arrives at the Heritage Hollow museum — said to be older than anything else in the collection — Slick and Muffin are back on the case. This time the trail leads through dusty archive boxes, a torn museum tag, and a sixty-year-old ledger correction nobody ever explained. No ghosts. No hoaxes. Just real evidence, real science, and a town willing to check its own homework — exactly the kind of mystery Slick and Muffin were born to solve.

Book 3: The Vanishing Trail: A Heritage Hollow Adventure
When word reaches town that Juniper — the Wildlife Park’s beloved elder wolf — has gone missing, Slick and Muffin head miles past the fields to help find her. With a new friend named Regan, her ranger mother, and a little help from Dr. Okafor’s sharp eye, the raccoons track collars, read paw prints, and do the math that search-and-rescue teams use for real — all to answer one question: is Juniper really lost, or just keeping a very good secret? Book Three in the Heritage Hollow Adventures series — real science, real math, and a mystery kids can solve right alongside two raccoons who always come back with a plan.

Book 4: The Lantern in the Library: A Heritage Hollow Adventure
Heritage Hollow has a new library, and Slick and Muffin have already spotted a strange lantern glow in a sealed old wing no one is supposed to enter after dark. Books that reshelve themselves. A whisper in the walls. A boy who won’t say why he’s really there. This time, the mystery isn’t dangerous — it’s a secret kept out of love, and a hundred years of the town’s own history hanging in the balance. Solving it will take patience, honest evidence, and the courage to ask for help. Real language skills woven into every page: how a library is organized, how a dictionary works, how one small root word hides inside dozens of others, and how punctuation can change everything a sentence means.

Book 5: The Water Tower Signal: A Heritage Hollow Adventure
When a strange, steady pattern of light starts blinking from the top of the water tower, Slick and Muffin know a coincidence when they don’t see one. The signal spells out three letters every kid in Heritage Hollow has heard of but never had to answer: S-O-S. Chasing it means learning to read Morse code from a radio-obsessed kid named Marcus, understanding water pressure from an engineer who measures twice, and untangling a signal mess that has half the town’s radios buzzing. But the real lesson waiting at the top of that tower isn’t about villains or danger — it’s about how easy it is to mistake correlation for the whole story, and how much better an answer gets once everyone brings their piece of it to the table.

Book 6: The Mansion’s Missing Hours: A Heritage Hollow Adventure
Every clock in Ashgrove Mansion tells a different time. The hall clocks disagree. The windows on the hill glow at strange hours. And all over Heritage Hollow, folks whisper that the old mansion is losing time: whole hours of it, gone missing in the night. Raccoon detectives Slick and Muffin don’t believe in haunted houses. They believe in careful notes. With help from Mrs. Ashgrove, her clock-loving great-grandson Theo and Mr. Higgins the groundskeeper, they count, chart and calculate their way to the truth, one tick at a time. Real math, woven right into the mystery: reading clocks, A.M. and P.M., and elapsed time; friendly numbers and order of operations; divisibility, factors, multiples and least common multiples; fractions of an hour, averages, area and perimeter; and the 24-hour clock, the key to the whole mystery. Every chapter ends with a full-color See the Math diagram and a Field Notebook Challenge, with an answer key in the back. No villains. Just evidence, patience and an answer hiding in plain sight. Perfect for curious readers ages 9–12, classrooms and homeschool families.

Book 3: Guide to Looking Like You Know What You’re Doing: Adulthood, Bad Decisions, and Other Things We Pretend to Understand
Nobody warns you that adulthood is mostly improvisation in decent shoes. Amelia Shade has spent enough years pretending to understand insurance, thermostats, and customer service scripts to know exactly how the con works — and she’s here to walk you through it. Dry.

Book 4: Guide to Surviving the Internet: Notifications, Nonsense, and Other Things We Pretend to Enjoy
The internet promised connection. It delivered thirty-four notifications before breakfast. Amelia Shade has survived group chats that refuse to end, an algorithm that knows her better than her own mother, and a comment section that has never once been asked for its opinion. In this fourth guide from the Choice1-3D Comedy Library, she takes on doomscrolling, online dating, influencers, video calls, and the particular tyranny of a small red dot — with her usual dry wit and refusal to pretend any of it makes sense.

The most wonderful time of the year. Allegedly. The festive season now begins in September. It ends some time in late January.

Amelia Shade, the Queen of Dry Humour, has survived all of it, with excellent posture and a firm finishing time. Now she shares exactly how. In twelve elegantly merciless chapters, Amelia takes on the family table, the gift economy, Secret Santa and the office party, holiday travel, hosting, the annual brag letter, the neighbourhood light war, the shopping-centre car park, the party circuit, New Year’s Eve and the long, quiet recovery of January. Every chapter includes Warning Signs, Emergency Exits, Amelia’s Survival Rules and the Useful Language you need to get out of almost anything politely. Fully illustrated in colour. A perfect Secret Santa gift, stocking stuffer or host present for anyone who loves the holidays in theory and needs a little help in practice. Book Five of the Amelia Shade series. Each book stands alone.

Book 1: The Number That Stands Alone: Uncovering the Biblical Meaning of the Number One and Why the Bible Calls God "One"
Biblical Hebrew has two different words for ‘one’ — and in the most repeated sentence in the Hebrew Bible, the writer chose the one that means ‘joined,’ not ‘solitary.’ The Number That Stands Alone is the first investigation in the Dusty Shepherd Books series — a careful, fact-only trail through Scripture, following one number through some of its strangest appearances. This is not a devotional, and it isn’t trying to convince you of any one tradition’s doctrine.

Book 2: Bini: The Hidden Mystery of Two Witnesses: Tracing the Ancient Law of Two Witnesses from Deuteronomy to the Word "Martyr"
Two witnesses. One rule that would not bend. Thirty-four centuries ago, a wilderness law court declared that no single voice could establish the truth — it always took two. Bini is the second investigation in the Dusty Shepherd Books series, following that ancient rule through a Hebrew word used with startling precision, into the words of Jesus and the letters of Paul, into the two witnesses of Revelation 11, and out the other side into the Greek word that became "martyr." Every claim can be checked, and where honest disagreement begins, the book says so plainly and leaves the conclusion to you.

Book 3: Tertia: The Hidden Mystery of the Third Day: Tracing the Ancient Phrase "On the Third Day" from Creation’s Twice-Good Day to a Tuesday Wedding Today
Why does the Bible keep saving its turning points for the third day? On the first page of Genesis, one day of creation passes without the words "it was good." The next day hears them twice. From there, a short Hebrew phrase, "the third day," turns up again and again at the exact moment a story turns: Abraham lifting his eyes toward a distant mountain, two prisoners in Egypt learning their fate, a whole nation trembling at Sinai, a queen walking uninvited into a king’s court. Tertia follows that phrase word by word through Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. It checks every claim against the King James text, counts every occurrence, and takes the strongest objections seriously before drawing any conclusion.
