Stone Cold Fox

Stone Cold Fox: The Oliver Fox Mysteries In a small Minnesota town where everyone has quietly agreed to forget, one thirteen-year-old refuses to look away. Oliver Fox notices the things other people miss — the corroded battery terminal, the letter typed on an old machine, the house that emptied overnight. He is not brave, exactly. He is curious, which his mother will tell you is far more dangerous. Alongside his sharp-eyed friend Mei and the unlikely allies they gather in a winter greenhouse, Oliver keeps walking straight into the middle of the secrets Frost Hollow would rather leave buried under the ice. This volume collects all five Oliver Fox mysteries in one book: The Thaw — A teacher vanishes and leaves behind a journal, and its trail leads Oliver to a hidden well and a fifty-year-old crime the whole town helped erase. The Memory Garden — Anonymous letters start accusing Oliver's family of hiding something, and the only way to make them stop is to uncover the truth they were built to protect. The Fox Den — Houses are emptying one family at a time, and saving the town depends on whether anyone is brave enough to say so out loud. The Run — A stolen heirloom canoe and a ruthless corporate sponsor pull Oliver into a two-hundred-mile race he has no business entering and no intention of losing. Cold Storage — When the town clinic is robbed and his mother is blamed, Oliver has one cold winter to find the thief and clear her name. Warm, clever, and gently suspenseful, these are cozy small-town mysteries for young readers who love puzzles, underdogs, and the kind of friends who show up when it counts. The crime happens off the page and the courage happens on it, and every secret eventually finds its way into the light. Some histories shouldn't stay buried. Meet the boy who digs them up.
