About this audiobook

An Amazon Best Book of the Month All Charlie Tickler wants is for his parents to listen. Charlie's parents have left him (again). This time they are off to South Africa to help giant golden moles. And Charlie? He's been dumped with his TV-obsessed grandparents. Lonely and curious, Charlie heads into the village of Castle-on-the-Hudson, where a frightened old woman gives him a desperate message-in sign language. When she suddenly disappears, Charlie is determined to find answers. All Francine (aka Frog) Castle wants is to be the world's greatest detective. Frog, who is deaf, would rather be solving crimes than working at the Flying Hands Cafe. When Charlie Tickler walks into the cafe looking for help, Frog jumps at the chance to tackle a real-life case. Together, Charlie and Frog set out to decipher a series of clues and uncover the truth behind the missing woman's mysterious message. Charlie needs to learn American Sign Language (fast) to keep up with quick-witted Frog. And Frog needs to gather her detective know-how (now) to break the case before it's too late.

About the author

Karen Kane has worked as an interpreter for the deaf community for over twenty-five years. The people she met along the way inspired her writing with their strength, warmth, and humor, especially those in the deaf community.

Caleb Summers is described as a "Peter Pan" dad; a child-at-heart with a fatherly presence and great sense of comedic timing (especially when it comes to dad jokes). Caleb's work as a narrator is supported by his theater and film acting experience of over twenty years. He has four children, to whom he still reads daily.
