Items related to The Pea Soup Poisonings
Zoe Elwood's know-it-all brother Kelby has started the Northern Spy Club-named after a variety of apple in their father's Vermont orchard-and declared himself President. To get into the club one must walk a narrow beam over rusted farm machinery, and solve a crime. In this case, the crime involves Alice Fairweather's grandmother, who has expired after eating a bowl of pea soup. According to Kelby, the elderly Bagley Sisters across the street who made the soup must be guilty. But Zoe is fond of the Bagley Sisters and asks her friend Spencer to help her uncover clues that will prove the sisters are innocent. Solving the crime and walking the high beam in the barn are something that Zoe is determined to prove a girl can do just as well as a boy.

From the Author:
Inspired by Nancy Drew, I wrote my first novel at age ten about the kidnapping of a pesky older brother - but my mother threw it out. I now redeem myself with the Pea Soup Poisonings, based on the adventures of my own four children and on the pea soup my husband used to make in five gallon vats and serve in a reconstituted chamberpot!
