The Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester by Barbara O'Connor

When Owen's father loses his hardware business, and the family has to move in with his grandpa, Owen's life changed.  He had to deal with his grandpa's nurse, Earlene, who didn't seem to want him to have any fun, as well as Viola, the nosey, bossy girl from next door.  At least he had his freshly caught bullfrog, Tooley, and his two friends Travis and Stumpy.   The mystery begins one evening when the train rattles by grandpa's house, and he hears a mysterious "thud" followed by a crack of wood and a tumble, tumble sound.   What could it be?  If you like mysteries, and stories about friendships, you will love this book by Barbara O'Connor.  Check it out!
