Have you ever had a really bad year?You know, like one where your dad goes around with a funeral face on him all the time. One where something terrible happens to your dog. One where you have a sugar-coated cousin from hell who comes to stay with you and makes your life an absolute misery; not only that but gets you involved with a sinister neighbor and the horror of what that neighbor has in a black bag.You have?Well then, you didn t have a really bad year; you had, like me, the worst year of your life.The Black Bag Mystery introduces a new series of urban mysteries for 8+ children. It is a fast-paced adventure story that also deals with real-life family problems in a humorous way.

A rollercoaster story of real love. For Nance, it begins with the photo she finds in her adoptive mother's room-a photo of herself as a black baby, with the parents she has never known. For OD, it begins with his father's decision to buy a trumpet-and with Mick Moran's strange visit to the Town Park building site where OD works. Both of them need to know the truth before their lives-and their relationship-can go on. But as their search continues, they discover that everybody has secrets-and that the truth is never as simple as it seems.

Playful and engaging, this story opens a child's mind to a world of pure imagination where lives are turned upside-down, inside-out—kids' pants are held up by giant balloons and clouds are stored in boxes. Memory pages at the back of the book pose questions for a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or parent to answer about their own childhood, transforming it into a keepsake to treasure. The set includes a companion coloring book.
