The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity - When twelve-year-old Steve Brixton, a fan of Bailey Brothers detective novels, is mistaken for a real detective, he must elude librarians, police, and the mysterious Mr. E as he seeks a missing quilt containing coded information.

The Hospital cares for abandoned children - but Hetty must first live with a foster family until she is big enough to go to school. Hetty is determined to find her real mother - could she be the fantastic Madame Adeline from the traveling circus, or is the truth even more amazing?
