The Adventures of JD & Marcus The Secrets Beyond Linden Avenue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234002631)

The mystery didn't end on Linden Avenue...it only got bigger.

Just when JD and Marcus think their summer adventure is finally behind them, a small detail in a newspaper article changes everything. What if the clues they followed weren't leading to the past-but to something still hidden?

In The Adventures of JD & Marcus: The Secrets Beyond Linden Avenue, the boys quickly realize they may have missed the most important clue of all. What begins as a lingering question turns into a brand-new investigation-one that takes them beyond their block and deeper into the heart of their community. Their search leads them to unexpected places, including Bellwood's City Hall, where answers seem closer than ever, but nothing is as simple as it appears.

With curiosity driving them forward (and curfew always right around the corner), JD and Marcus must dig deeper, think smarter, and rely on their friendship more than ever. Along the way, they encounter surprising twists, unexpected allies, and revelations that challenge everything they thought they knew.
