    About this audiobook

    Otto and Sheed are the local sleuths in their zany Virginia town, masters of unraveling mischief using their unmatched powers of deduction. And as the summer winds down and the first day of school looms, the boys are craving just a little bit more time for fun, even as they bicker over what kind of fun they want to have. That is, until a mysterious man appears with a camera that literally freezes time. Now, with the help of some very strange people and even stranger creatures, Otto and Sheed will have to put aside their differences to save their town - and each other - before time stops for good.

      Absolutely adored this book . Could not put it down . It’s exciting , ironic, and hilarious with a good mix of puns to keep any age entertained . Will be recommending to all of my students . I wish there were more books in the series , it will be hard to wait until October for the next one .

      In Logan County, VA, things are not always as they seem to be nor as they appear to happen. Cousins Otto and Sheed are known around town for their skill and adventures in battling the strange by way of deduction, inventiveness and assorted maneuvers. They’ve even been recognized with keys to the city for their work. But on the last day of summer before school begins, the boys take on their greatest challenge yet, after a stranger shows up in town and time freezes.Mystery and time travel, the puzzle of putting it together. Readers are deducing the way Otto does. Humorous play on phrases of time (bedtime, crunch time, game time, second guessers) and how frozen time impacts them. Otto and Sheed’s relationship: teasing, bickering, bantering, insults, buddies, teammates, they have each other’s backs, flaws and all. Seemed to me a standard adventure story until we got into Petey’s story and how he came to be and how “Old Petey” made things right with “Young Petey.” Then we come to the heart and substance of the story so then the story works.
