Dilly loved a good murder. Not a REAL murder. A made-up murder. One you would find in a murder mystery novel. Sherlock Holmes was her favourite detective, so much so that she had named her dog Watson after his faithful companion. Dilly had trained her Watson to sniff out clues and follow scent trails. Something he would happily do for a dog biscuit. Or two. So far, Dilly and Watson hadn’t had much luck cracking cases – beyond lost cats, or missing biscuits that turned out to have been eaten all along. But now the detective duo found themselves on a luxury ocean liner bound for London. A thousand passengers. A thousand nautical miles of ocean around them. It was the perfect place for a murder… Or two. Or three. Or four. Or MORE!

Sur l'île de Mulch, les adultes ne sont vraiment pas gentils. De la maîtresse au marchand de glace, en passant par l'affreuse Greta Greed, tous ont pour objectif de faire de la vie des enfants un véritable enfer. Alors que la situation semble désespérée, Ned, handicapé moteur, fait une découverte qui pourrait bien changer le cours des choses : le slime ! Mais qu'est-ce que le slime ? D'où vient-il ? Et comment Ned pourrait-il l'utiliser pour débarrasser Mulch de ses adultes super méchants ?

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.
