Here's a guest post from Cyd, the costar of Dead Frog on the Porch, by Jan Markley.
My twin sister Jane and I solve mysteries. We’ve already tackled scientists creating giant frogs. Let's just say those scientists are now simmering in a giant flask of you-won’t-get-out-of-jail-soon juice.
Our parents are scientists. Did you know that we share 60 per cent of our genes with bananas?! That was last night’s dinnertime science talk. Gee, maybe that’s why I like banana bread so much. So, to keep out of science camp each summer we snoop out a mystery to solve. Like the one we’re embroiled in now. You’ll be able to clamp your eyes on it in the fall.
It all started when Jane’s cat Yin dragged a Dead Bird through the Cat Door. That led us to discover that the director of the bird sanctuary, Aviary Finch, was stealing cats to kill birds. Dead birds? Stolen cats? C’est what? When Yin gets kidnapped, it gets personal. We’re up to our bird beaks in intrigue cracking the latest Megabyte Mystery. We’ve got a new sidekick Todd, but whose side is he on?
We use the latest technology (and I’m not talking about the gramophone, or the fax machine – that’s so last century). You know Shakespeare? It turns out that his character Macbeth helps solve the mystery.
Will Jane and I be able to save the sanctuary, free the birds, and return the cats to their natural habitat of their owners’ laps? It’s predator eats predator when evil meets crazy! Then there's website meets blog, i.e., our author Jan Markley.
