Josephine Cameron Livres

A summer romp full of mystery, new friends, and maybe a mermaid! Eleven-year-old Anthoni Gillis is not the kind of kid who believes in fairies, unicorns, or even the word “maybe.” She’s more of a comic-books girl. So when her mom brings her to Thunder Lake for a summer at the Showboat Resort, she doesn’t believe the local rumors about the Boulay Mermaid. Anthoni has bigger fish to fry. She’s always wanted a True Blue Friend. But it’s been hard to find one, since for the past five years she’s been bouncing from town to town, helping her mother sell Beauty & the Bee cosmetic products to keep them both afloat. This summer will be different, though. Anthoni has a plan—a foolproof checklist for making lifelong friends! There won’t be any maybes this time. But as she grows entangled in local gossip, and her mother stretches the truth, Anthoni must decide if she’ll “stick to the plan,” like always, or dive into a summer full of extraordinary possibilities. Josephine Cameron’s energetic and heartfelt debut raises timeless questions about truth, lies, and the hope that grows between them.

Set in the same world as A Dog-Friendly Town, Josephine Cameron delivers a standalone, middle-grade mystery chockfull of puppers in peril, Houdini-inspired whodunits, and a rollicking cast of characters. Eleven-year-old Rondo McDade is starting to feel left out. His older brother, Epic, is heading into high school, and his younger sister, Elvis, is always mad at him. His parents, who are busy running their dog-friendly bed and breakfast, the Perro del Mar, keep pushing him out of the house and into the company of the new kid in town hoping he'll keep Rondo out of trouble. To top it all off, the Bentley Knows TV show is filming a new episode at the Perro, and the whole town is packed with movie people. And just when things couldn't get worse, celebrity canines start to go missing, including Carmelito’s most beloved celebrity canine, Pico Boone. Rondo will have to make friends with the new kid in town and keep his siblings together in order to crack the case!

Ein besonderes Mädchenbuch mit ganz viel Herz und einem Funken Magie! Anthoni und ihre Mutter ziehen mit einem Bienenmobil durchs Land, um Honigshampoo und Cremes zu verkaufen. Dabei wünscht sich die Elfjährige nichts sehnlicher, als endlich eine Freundin zu finden. Doch dann lassen sich die beiden in dem verschlafenen Nest Eagle Waters nieder, in dem wunderlichen Hotel der alten Charlotte, von der man sagt, sie sei eine Meerjungfrau. Eine Zeit voller Geheimnisse wartet auf Anthoni. Und voller Mutproben. Bis sie am Ende nicht nur Schwimmen gelernt hat, sondern auch, was echte Freunde sind. Von Nixen, Freundschaften und anderen magischen Gesheimnissen - eine Geschichte so leuchtend und süß wie ein honiggoldener Sommer.
