Sounds Like Trouble

by Stacia Deutsch, Robin Oliver Boyden (Illustrator)

Overview

When Michael Wilson keeps hearing an unusual sound at night, he calls on his friends Liv and Leo to help him figure out what's causing it. The three young neighbors, known as the Mysterious Makers of Shaker Street, build a tool to amplify the sound, and they soon discover that an empty neighboring house is actually occupied. Will the Mysterious Makers put an end to the troubling noise once and for all? Readers can become makers themselves by following included instructions to recreate the tools the Shaker Street kids use to solve the mystery, while a glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts make this a great addition for libraries.
