Eddie Whatever -- Lois Ruby

<p><strong>"Comic, creepy, calamitous, and . . . completely satisfying."--Claudia Mills, author of <em>The Lost Language</em> and <em>Zero Tolerance</em></strong></p> <p>Thirteen-year-old Eddie needs to do a community service project in preparation for his bar mitzvah. Against his better judgment, he ends up with a volunteering gig at Silver Brook Pavilion retirement home, where the residents call him "Eddie Whatever" rather than worry about remembering his last name. </p> <p>These old folks soon upend all Eddie's assumptions about the boringness of the elderly. There's a dramatic courtship unfolding, long-hidden secret identities, a rumor of a vengeful ghost, and a thief on the loose. </p> <p>When suspicion falls on Eddie, he teams up with his fellow volunteer (and crush), Tessa, to solve the mysteries of Silver Brook.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Lois Ruby<br><b>Publisher:</b> Carolrhoda Books (R)<br><b>Published:</b> 08/01/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 264<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.40h x 5.20w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9798765626917<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 6<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>516833 / Eddie Whatever<br>
