Readers of the Munched-Up Garden, the first volume in the green Troublesome Creek series, may recall the quiet boy of color, James. This time, he becomes the hero of Troublesome Creek when he discovers the legacy of a long-ago war that is killing the fish in the stream and poisoning the Troublesome Creek gang's swimming hole. This is an eco whodunit with a happy, kids-take-charge ending.

From the Inside Flap:

The five friends who make up the Troublesome Creek gang never go out of their way to seek trouble! They just go about their business of having fun, and trouble finds them. Each time, trouble looks different.

This time, toxic trouble spots James just as he is about to drop into the gang's swimming hole. This trouble looks like dead fish. Even worse, it smells like dead fish, too.

What is killing all the fish in Troublesome Creek? Will it also come for James and his pals?

James and the gang find the truth in a dark and creepy cave on the opposite bank of the creek. The cave is full of bats and . . . something else. The poisonous truth is a legacy of a long ago war that nearly split the United States forever.

Warning: This book may be the best eco-thriller you've read.

From the Back Cover:

In this unique green series featuring the diverse Troublesome Greek gang, each book has a different hero or heroine. No one in the gang ever looks for trouble but eco-trouble has a pesky, certain way of finding them.

Fortunately, each of the five friends is a clever troubleshooter.
