Otto and Sheed are the local sleuths in their zany Virginia town, masters of unraveling mischief using their unmatched powers of deduction. And as the summer winds down and the first day of school looms, the boys are craving just a little bit more time for fun, even as they bicker over what kind of fun they want to have. That is, until a mysterious man appears with a camera that literally freezes time. Now, with the help of some very strange people and even stranger creatures, Otto and Sheed will have to put aside their differences to save their town - and each other - before time stops for good.– Ages 10–12.

“Narrator Ruffin Prentiss introduces spirited cousins Sheed and Otto Alston. … Prentiss engagingly introduces the boys, whose opposite personalities enhance their time-travel decisions, which are aimed at saving their hometown. Clever wordplay using time-related terms like “Father Time,” “clock-watcher,” and “bedtime” add to the pleasure and enhance vocabulary. Listeners will meet the Alstons’ biggest competitors, the Ellis twins (girls), and other memorable townsfolk. Most endearing is Grandma, who ensures that the champions are always respectful and mannerly.”—AudioFile

Now that Logan County is safe from an eternal freeze, cousins Otto and Sheed Alston are back to their normal lives as the town’s most celebrated detectives. Well … almost normal. Otto still remembers what his future self said about Sheed getting sick. And Otto plans to stop that from happening … even if it means keeping a suspicious Sheed in the dark. Enter the perfect distraction: Missus Nedraw of the Rorrim Mirror Emporium. Unlike the majority of the town’s residents, she still remembers last summer’s adventures—and how Otto and Sheed Alston took some of her mirrors without permission. Stealing is usually an unforgivable offense, punishable by a million-year sentence, but the warden has a problem of her own. One of her worst prisoners has escaped from their mirror prison, and only the Legendary Alston Boys of Logan County can help bring the fugitive to justice.
