Suspicion falls on the one person who isn't supposed to be there: Lenny.

Leonard and Sam Sedgman finds young sleuth Hal Beck hurtling across the Australian Outback while trying to figure out who sabotaged the maiden voyage of a new train before it explodes! When artist, train enthusiast, and sleuth, Hal Beck, and his travel journalist uncle, Nat, are invited to be on the first ever ride of the Solar Express train in Australia, he couldn’t be more excited! The new train is the result of a worldwide contest held by tech billionaire August Reza, whom they met on a trip in America. And it’s even more exciting to learn that the train’s engine was designed by fourteen-year-old prodigy Boaz Tudaweli. Once Hal and Uncle Nat connect with August and his daughter, Marianne, she confides in Hal her suspicions about a gift her father received. At first, it seems there’s nothing to it. But when things start to go wrong even before the Solar Express has left the station—and get much worse when the ride begins—Hal, Marianne, and Boaz must investigate. Can they figure out who’s behind everything before the Solar Express goes completely off track...and possibly explodes?

Forming bonds in a time of war It's the summer of 1943, and for twelve-year-old Celie Marsh the war seems awfully close to her coastal Massachusetts home. She worries about bombs and submarines, and about her big brother, who can't wait to go off and fight. Her little brother doesn't seem to need her anymore, and her best friend has moved away. When her father brings Charley, a monkey, home from work one day, Celie finds the comforting companion she has been missing. But more upheaval is in store: irritating Joey Bentley moves in with his crabby grandmother next door, her mother takes a job building warships, and worst of all, Charley proves to be too wild for Celie to manage. A near disaster forces Celie to make a heart-wrenching decision that teaches her painful lessons about friendship, family, and the meaning of love. This tender novel about relationships, based on the author's mother's experience, is elegantly crafted and suffused with warmth, as well as with a powerful sense of time and place.
