"Colin has spent all summer solving mysteries with his friend Nevaeh. But they've only ever dealt with other people's mysteries--ones that are safe for Colin to think about. He's still stuck on the mystery surrounding his own father, who his mother refuses to talk about and he can't remember meeting. Then one morning Colin finds a shoebox on his porch with a note on top: 'Your father wanted you to have this.' Inside the box is a key. This new clue makes Colin even more determined to find out the truth about his dad and why his parents split up when he was a baby. Colin and Nevaeh begin investigating Colin's father in a quest that takes them from eerie storage units to lock-lined bridges to, strangely, secrets in Nevaeh's family. But the closer they get to connecting the clues, the more trouble awaits them. A serious accident leaves Nevaeh's family reeling--and Nevaeh racked with guilt. And digging into Colin's father's past may lead Colin and his mom into even more danger. Can Colin and Nevaeh solve the mystery before it's too late?"--Amazon.

The high house : a novel / by Greengrass, Jessie,1982-author.;
"Caro and Pauly, Sally and Grandy live together in the High House. Set away from a small town by the sea, on a sloping hill, they have a tide pool and a mill, a vegetable garden and, mostly importantly, a barn packed full of supplies. They are safe, so far, from the rising water that threatens to destroy the town and that has, perhaps, already destroyed everything else. But for how long? Caro is Pauly's sister, and she takes care of him while his parents, her father and his mother, are away, agitating for a more pronounced response to the incipient climate disaster. When disaster really does strike, she does as she's told and takes Pauly to the High House, far away from London, a converted summer home cared for by Grandy and his granddaughter, Sally. They learn to live together, or at least they try. Yet there are limits to their safety, limits to the supplies, limits to what Grandy--the former village caretaker, a man who knows how to do everything--can teach them as his health fails. A searing novel that takes on parenthood, sacrifice, love, and living, as we all must, under the threat of extinction, The High House is a devastating, emotionally precise novel about what can be salvaged at the end of the world"--
