When a string of burglaries threatens their coastal town, Maddie, Cornelious, Carly and Pilot embark on a mission to stop the crime spree and put things right.Unfortunately, solving crimes isn’t as easy as it seems on TV. The further they investigate, the more they find themselves constantly side-stepping tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum-like policemen, outsmarting local bully JB and his gang of misfits, and dealing with Cornelious’ billionaire father and Governor—who has disapproved of his son’s choice of friends for years. In addition to these obstacles, the foursome must also adapt to their evolving friendship with each other and their peers. But with upperclassmen, teachers, and teammates vying for their attention, the amateur sleuths must work even harder to root out the red-herrings from the true thief, before it’s too late.ASBURY HIGH AND THE PARCELS OF POISONAfter an unprecedented first year of high school, Carly, Maddie, Pilot and Cornelious are ready for a relaxing summer vacation…although in Asbury, that may be easier said than done.

When Pilot realizes his mother’s job at Brady’s is now in jeopardy, as well as his future in Asbury, the gang is once again thrust into the investigation. Unfortunately, they find themselves thwarted by both the local police (who believe their recent success was due to luck, rather than skill), and Cornelious’ father, who has decided to run for Mayor of Asbury and cautions his son on the need to maintain a spotless public image.With a new pancake house on the boardwalk, Mainlanders invading their beaches, and the Pitbulls sneaking around and terrorizing shoobies (as usual), there’s no shortage of suspects. But can they solve the case before the summer, and Brady’s, are finished?ASBURY HIGH AND THE MISTAKEN IDENTITIESA month into their sophomore year, Maddie, Cornelious, Carly and Pilot discover that many Asburyans are finding their bank accounts depleted, with no hint of foul play.
