Shortly after arriving, Mr. Crosby—the much loved owner of the corner store—shares a story that leaves Max and Carly wondering if they can find out what happened to Mr. Crosby’s nephew, Lee, in the “Flood of ’72”. But then a crisis intervenes and they drop everything to help Mr. Crosby save his store. Some of Mr. Crosby’s oldest friends, a newcomer to town, and their church friends all pitch in, but is it enough? Can they save the store? What will Mr. Crosby do if they can’t?

Only teamwork and faith will save the store, solve the mystery of Lee Crosby—and see the cousins and Mr. Crosby safely through the most dangerous situation they’ve ever faced.

Had it really been only a year since the Double Cousins solved their first mystery? But now back at Grandpa’s ranch for their summer visit, it seemed something was missing—one of those exciting mysteries. For the first time in a year, they were all together again, and the time was slipping by with no mystery. If this was the new normal, they didn’t like it very much. Then out of the blue, strangers arrive at the ranch and drop a mystery right into their laps, shocking even Grandpa with ranch history he had never heard. The Happy Hollow school property was originally part of Grandpa’s land. Had the first one been a sod building? Can they fulfill the dream of a centenarian by recovering its history and, against all odds, find the tiny time capsule hidden by two young boys over 120 years ago? And can they put up with an annoying visitor who doesn’t like the ranch or anything on it? In the seventh Double Cousins Mystery, the cousins, including Brandon, use all their sleuthing skills—along with some new ones—to help that family of strangers find the answer to their mystery; and in the process, they learn that mysteries truly are a part of history.

An expansive and insightful exploration of one of the most iconic and electrifying artists ever, this book reveals the stunning, multi-generational influence and appeal of Prince and his revered music—from celebrated journalist, author, and host of the popular podcast The Touré Show. Infused with Touré’s unique pop-culture fluency, I Would Die 4 U is as passionate and radical as its subject matter. Building on his lifelong admiration for Prince’s oeuvre and interviews with those closest to the late artist, including band members, his tour manager, and music and Bible scholars, Touré deconstructs the life and work of the enigmatic icon who has been both a reflective mirror of and inspirational force for America. By defying traditional categories of race, gender, and sexuality, but also presenting a very conventional conception of religion and God, Prince was a man of profound contradictions. He spoke in the language of 60s pop and soul to a generation fearing Cold War apocalypse and the crack and AIDS epidemic, while simultaneously being both an MTV megastar and a religious evangelist. He creatively blended his songs with images of sex and profanity to invite us into a musical conversation about the healing power of God and religion. By demystifying Prince as a man, an artist, and a cultural force, I Would Die 4 U shows us how he impacted and defined a generation.
