"The Dime Novel Kids are spunky, spirited, smart, sassy-and so is Sheila Turnage's writing. It sizzles and sparkles." -Lauren Wolk, author of Newbery Honor Book Wolf Hollow
From the Newbery Honor-winning author of Three Times Lucky comes a middle grade WWII spy mystery with as much humor and heart as high stakes
Twelve-year-old Stick Lawson lives on Hatteras Island, North Carolina, where life moves steady as the tides, and mysteries abound as long as you look really hard for them. Stick and her friends Rain and Neb are good at looking hard. They call themselves the Dime Novel Kids. And the only thing Stick wants more than a paying case for them to solve is the respect that comes with it. But on Hatteras, the tides are changing. World War II looms, curious newcomers have appeared on the small island, and in the waters off its shores, a wartime menace lurks that will upend Stick's life and those of everyone she loves. The Dimes are about to face more mysteries than they ever could have wished for, and risk more than they ever could have imagined.
"Big, beautifully unfolding adventure and mystery, [and characters] who jump off the page and straight into your heart." -Kimberly Willis Holt, author of National Book Award Winner When Zachary Beaver Came to Town
"Charming and funny, [abounding in] codes and clues, spies, and double agents. -PW
"Smart kids save the day in this engaging WWII spy mystery." -Common Sense Media
"Lively narration will quickly draw readers into the story, which twists and turns cleverly. -Booklist
"A little-known piece of American history [makes for] an entertaining saga of island life." -Kirkus
"Funny, crisp, and clever." -The Horn Book
"Stick is the kind of protagonist I wish was my best friend . . . . I can't get enough of her." -Gennifer Choldenko, author of Newbery Honor Book Al Capone Does My Shirts

Autoren-Porträt von Sheila Turnage
Growing up in eastern North Carolina, Sheila Turnage fell in love with Hatteras Island's shipwrecks, secret World War II history, and whispered spy stories--which helped inspire Island of Spies. Sheila is the author of the award-winning Mo & Dale mysteries, including Three Times Lucky, a Newbery Honor Book, New York Times bestseller, and Edgar Award finalist; The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing, also a New York Times bestseller and recipient of five starred reviews; and The Odds of Getting Even and The Law of Finders Keepers, both recipients of numerous starred reviews. Sheila is also the author of two nonfiction adult books, a poetry collection, and a picture book, Trout the Magnificent, illustrated by Janet Stevens. She lives on a farm in eastern NC with her husband, a very smart dog, a flock of chickens and guineas, one lonely goose, and a couple of sweet-faced goats. She still loves visiting Hatteras Island.
