A delightfully strange and hilarious debut novel perfect for Lemony Snicket and Trenton Lee Stewart fans—the first book in a new middle-grade mystery series that will keep you guessing and laughing all along the way.At the age of eleven Frederik Sandwich awakens to an earthquake that couldn't possibly be. His town is nowhere near a fault line and no earthquake has ever been recorded there. But when he questions what could have caused the shaking, he realizes he may have uncovered more than he bargained for. Desperately wanting to know what happened, but not the type of person to break rules or push adults for answers, Frederik is lucky (or not, depending on how you look at it) to meet a mysterious stranger, Pernille. She is the sort of person to break rules and demand answers, and is determined to partner with him to get to the bottom of the mystery. It's a mystery that will lead the two outsiders through abandoned train tunnels, into hidden library rooms, and to the shadowy corridors of City Hall in the dead of night as they try to figure out what could have caused inexplicable rumblings in their small town.

This is the unabridged edition. John Scott, the author of this book, wrote the Partisan Ranger Law on March 27, 1862, and it was approved by the Confederate Congress on April 21, 1862. The rangers operated on the whole autonomously, but they did liaise with regular Confederate forces when they were nearby. The intention of the creation of the Partisan Rangers was to provide protection from invading Union armies. However, due to the lack of formal military organization and discipline, things sometimes got out of hand. A noteworthy exception was the command of Col. John Singleton Mosby in Northern Virginia, which were considered a different category from the more undisciplined groups. Leading the crème-de-la-crème of the partisan groups, the "ubiquitous Mosby," as one journalist called him, appeared to be everywhere and his operations were remarkable. This book is an entertaining record of the spectacular adventures of Mosby’s Partisan Rangers.
