BOYD MCCLOYD AND THE TIME-TRAVELLING KING!
How can two Boyd McCloyds exist in the exact same place at the exact same time? The answer: A TIME MACHINE! But a time machine in the wrong hands can be a dangerous thing! So, of course, someone has upset the laws of physics and gone back in time to cause a bit of a ruckus. That someone happens to be a singer that everyone thought was dead, but was, in reality, a member of The Conspiricetti and was bored enough to wonder what might happen if he went back in time to insert himself into historical events. Thus, Boyd and the rest of the Acclimated Spooks crew has to stop him. The only problem is that with every instance in which they travel back, the future becomes more and more jumbled. Can you fix the future by going back into the past? A thirteen-year old, the world’s smartest fifth grader, a yeti, a crocodile, and an Amazon are about to find out...

Boyd McCloyd and the Perpetual Motion Machine
1st in the series!
On the day that the meanest man in Hong Kong kidnapped his parents, thirteen-year-old Boyd McCloyd found out he had a new job from an eight-foot tall yeti in a pinstripe suit. The job in question: Boyd was to continue to produce yearly editions of The Almanac of the Twisted and Weird (the world’s number one printed resource for the odd and unusual, macabre and profane, twisted and…weird). However, because Boyd had inherited this job from the venerable Confucius Ping, he also inherited Mr. Ping’s enemies, every one of which had made it their lifelong goal to destroy everything that Mr. Ping represented. This dastardly and treacherous group of werewolves, leprechauns, mutant swordfish, dwarf giants, and various other cadres of criminals includes the very man who had kidnapped Boyd’s parents: Mr. Fang.
