A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TROUBLE
It’s spring break of sixth grade. Ah, what a time to worry about nothing. Except, all Icabum has is worry.

But he has a plan: ditch his lying dad, sneak out to the festival, solve the case, and return home. What could go wrong? How about everything?

IF THE HEADLINE IS BIG ENOUGH
A haunted mansion, a mad king, century-old clues, and a town that blames Icabum Plum for the disappearance of several children. Can Icabum clear his name and save the missing kids? Maybe, but first, he’ll have to get lost himself.
