The Boy in Mitchell Bay is a middle grade mystery set in Nova Scotia, Canada. It follows an eleven-year-old boy and his friends one summer as they attempt to solve the fifty-year-old mystery of an unidentified boy who drowned during a hurricane. It's Stand By Me and The Goonies when they meet Stranger Things.

 

From the back cover:

A strange coin. A hidden diary. An unexplained death. Secrets.

 

When a diverse group of five friends attempt to solve the fifty-year-old mystery of an unidentified boy who drowned during a hurricane, they uncover a disturbing case of racial segregation.

Ian Cooper makes a lot of mistakes, like any eleven-year-old boy. But when he accidentally sets the forest on fire behind his house, his mother has had enough. His plans to build a model ship his late father gave him are dashed when she ships him off to his grandparents in the sleepy seaside village of Mitchell Bay for the summer.

Ian learns the town has a fifty-year-old unsolved mystery – a boy drowned in the bay during a hurricane and remains unidentified. As Ian makes friends with a small diverse group of kids, they pledge to solve the mystery before the summer ends. Their efforts are thwarted by his overprotective grandmother, the town bully, a shady librarian with a dark past, and an ominous hurricane that puts Ian and his friends in peril.

White Rabbit: An American Satire is a modern take on George Orwell's Animal Farm, with a dash of today's political non-fiction, a pinch of the madcap play Noises Off, and a heaping serving of absurdity and silliness.

 

From the back cover:

What could a gay teen, his MAGA-influenced conservative mother, his unhinged high school teacher, a fake evangelical terrorist cult, and a fluffy white rabbit possibly have in common? Everything.

 

Ultra-social conservative zealot and PTA tryant Martha Molder runs for public office, but she thinks everyone is against her, including her immigrant gardener Enrique, her progressive husband Jack, her gay son Max, and his pet rabbit.

 

When a domestic terrorist duo who pose as an evangelical cult offer to help her, they use a clueless Martha to rob the bank where Jack is the manager to fund their organization. Meanwhile, Jack is having an affair with Max's unhinged teacher Miss Tutley to convince her to run in the election as an even more outrageous conservative candidate so Martha won't win.

 

When Max learns of his father's affair with the town's deranged black widow, he conspires with his fellow students, who have had enough of Miss Tutley's abuse and incompetence, to get rid of her. The madness culminates at a party the teens throw to celebrate her apparent demise, and when the entire cast of characters also attends, chaos reigns.

 

White Rabbit is an absurdist, screwball satire - a blistering rebuke of contemporary conservatism.
