    About this ebook

    Welcome to Cornerstone Middle School where Shiloh and his friends have started middle school. What starts out as an uneventful day quickly spirals into the first of many mysteries and adventures to come. Shiloh, Evan, Max, Desirae, and Roxy team up to solve the mysteries together using their combined smarts and skills with help from Evan's crazy gadgets.

    In book one, Shiloh is assigned a new locker but notices that the locker next to him happens to be sealed off. As he and his friends try and find out what is inside, they are told to keep away by the teachers and staff. This only makes them more curious and more determined to get to the bottom of it. But they may have a bigger problem than they imagined! Something is crawling through the cracks of the sealed locker that leaves them shocked…

    Onyx Kids School Days is a new series that chronicles the funny middle school adventures of Shiloh and his friends. The awkward growing pains that every kid can relate to are combined with a new mystery each day to unravel. Onyx Kids books are a spinoff of the original Onyx Kids that can be found on Onyx Flix and YouTube.

      Cold Winter Morning

      It was a cold Saturday morning. Shiloh had the blankets pulled over his head. Shiloh’s mom and dad tried to get him and his sister up early for school on the weekdays, but on weekends, they slept in. They slept all the way in. For as long as possible. So long sometimes that their parents would wonder if they were trying to break a world record.

      Shiloh was frequently a few minutes late for school and his homeroom teacher

      Ms. Sufferin was always watching him closely. Lots of students were a few minutes late, but Shiloh felt that Ms. Sufferin, was always picking on him. Anytime he was even just one minute late, she would slap her pointer down on his desk and talk about him in front of the class. Then she would start yelling at the class if they started to talk or laugh at what she said.

      Shiloh, she would start sickeningly sweet with his name, Your lack of punctuality shows your disinterest in your studies, unless you have neglected to inform me that something is wrong with your legs. Do you have mobility issues?

      Shiloh would mumble, I’m sorry, Ms. Sufferin. There’s nothing wrong with my legs.

      Is something wrong with your alarm clock? Did you accidentally program it for pm instead of am? She continued her questions.

      No, Shiloh would respond.

      Did you somehow trick your parents into thinking that school starts later? Ms. Sufferin had her hands folded and her eyebrows raised as if that was really a serious question.

      The class would start snickering.

      Quiet! She snapped her head up to scowl at the rest of the class.

      No, my parents know what time school starts, Shiloh said.

      I thought so, Ms. Sufferin would say. I’m afraid then that your brain is the culprit. Perhaps in the morning you prefer to remain in dreamland. Is that it?

      Well... Shiloh would try and respond in a way that was not snarky or disrespectful but would usually just stay quiet.

      By this time, she would have to drop her criticisms so that she could start homeroom.

      On the weekends, Shiloh’s parents usually got up at the regular time. They often wandered down to the kitchen in their pajamas to have a cup of tea or hot chocolate and have quiet time to talk and scroll on their phones. Shiloh knew they enjoyed having some time alone without him and his older sister Shasha around to start asking questions and take over their conversations.

      Shiloh opened one eye and peeked out from under the covers to look at his alarm clock. He had slept an hour later than he thought he had. It was almost 10 o’clock. He rolled over in bed and pulled the covers around his shoulders. As soon as he did that his feet stuck out from the blanket and he felt something warm, wet, and slobbery on his toes. It was Shadow his dog trying to get him to wake up.

      Stop that, Shadow, it tickles, said Shiloh. When Shadow continued, Shiloh used his feet to gently push him off the bed. Shadow whined a little and then went off into a corner of Shiloh’s bedroom to sulk.

      As he repositioned his arms, Shiloh heard a text coming in on his phone.
