The Death (and Further Adventures) of Silas Winterbottom: The Body Thief

Liars, thieves, and crocodiles... Three cousins quickly discover this is one doomed family reunion!

I am dying. . . I might get the chance to know you before death takes me...I would like you to be my guest at Sommerset. . . I have enclosed a check for $10,000. . . Should you accept my offer...

Uncle Silas has always been greedy, evil, insulting, and extremely rich! But a dying uncle with a vast fortune is definitely one worth getting to know. Even if it means spending 2 months on his secluded island home with a houseful of suspicious servants and a hungry pet crocodile.

But what is Uncle Silas really up to? Will Adele, Milo, and Isabella outlive Uncle Silas to inherit his money? And just who is that mysterious "guest" in his basement? Is it worth the money (or their lives) to stick around and find out?
