A new chapter book series from New York Times bestselling author Raj Haldar that explores etymology and world cultures in exciting, action-packed mystery stories! Go on an adventure with Eddie and MJ, as they solve a mystery in the midst of Mexico’s Día de Muertos celebrations.
Eddie and Molly-Jean are whisked away to Mexico and find themselves in the middle of the Día de Muertos celebrations. There they learn all about the beautiful festivities—and that a secret mole recipe has been stolen! They must use their word skills to solve the mystery.
This new series will follow the two best friends as they discover the hidden stories behind common words. Using their Awesome Enchanted Book and a healthy dose of imagination, the daring duo transport themselves to exotic locales, always encountering new adventures and learning how different cultures have contributed to the English language along the way.
Content is vetted for language and reading level by Alycia Zimmerman, a Princeton graduate who has written for Netflix’s Magic Schoolbus and is a contributing teacher for Scholastic, and former third grade teacher in NYC.
