Books in The Trouble Family Chronicles series

One mystical tree. One dangerous neighbor. Strange and magical things continually occur at the Hall family's home at 40 Walden Street. Now there's a terrible sound throughout the town of Concord€”the buzzing of a chain saw. Only one thing is worse for Eddy and Georgie Hall than that noise: the man who causes it, Mortimer Moon. When all the trees in town are falling to his hand and he threatens the mysterious tree sprouting in the Halls' backyard, Georgie and Eddy will do anything to stop him. In the eighth installment of the Hall Family Chronicles, secrets€”all caused by the growth of a miraculous tree€”will be unlocked.

ARE YOU LOSING THINGS? ARE PEOPLE YOU KNOW ACTING STRANGE? IS SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU MISSING??? DO YOU FEEL LIKE THINGS ARE BEYOND YOUR CONTROL? ARE YOU IN…TROUBLE? When Eric Morrison sees the advertisement, he doesn’t know which is more surprising—the ad’s sudden appearance or the fact that his answer to every question is YES! Not only can’t he find things, but the bullies at school are suddenly picking on him for no reason, and, worse yet, his mother has disappeared but he seems to be the only one who’s noticed. Even his best friend Maggie thinks he’s only run into a little bad luck. But if Eric thinks his life is upside down now, it’s nothing compared to what’s about to happen when Mr. Trouble and the Trouble family arrive to assist him in solving his problems. One thing’s for sure—Eric will never see the world in the same way again.

It's Montana's birth year, 1889, and the Blascomb boys and their father, Bill, are headed for Dillon for some Christmas shopping. As they ride up the Beaverhead River, though, they encounter the Thornton family, late of Texas, and facing a winter without. "They'll get by," Bill Blascomb thinks, but in the spring, they'll be gone. Young Caleb, though, has another idea, and his faith and his father's adherence to his frontier ideals might just be enough to see the Thorntons through. "Following yondering star," the Blascomb brothers and their dad do their best to see that young Sarah and her folks survive their first Montana winter.
