New Books for Older Readers...





Vapmire Dusk 
by Sebastian Rook
On an archaeological expedition into the steaming heart of the Mexican jungle, something terrible happens. Ben is the only survivor, the only one who witnessed it: something so hideous that he can barely speak of it. Now Ben returns as a stowaway on a ship of horrors, sailing into the chill and fog of 1850s London. But the evil cargo that the ship carries is already stirring. As the whole world falls into the awful grip of the vampire hordes, only three young fighters can prevent its total destruction…




The Mysterious 
Benedict Society
by Trenton Lee Stewart
Four children with unusual talents are recruited for a top-secret mission. There is only one rule - there are no rules. How can they work together to save the world? A crackling adventure begins...




Chasing Vermeer
by Blue Balliet & Brett Helquist
A stolen painting.
A series of unexpected events.
Two smart children.

Petra and Calder live in a neighborhood where strange things have started to happen. Seemingly unrelated events connect, a sharp old woman seeks their company - and a priceless Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two children are drawn into an international art sensation where no one is above suspicion. They must rely on their intelligence, and a newly-acquired knowledge of the artist Vermeer, to crack an art crime that has left everyone baffled.
