    About this ebook

    There can be only three in the Freaky Joe Club
    Those are the rules, set down by Freaky Joe himself in the big red book, slightly chewed on one corner and wrapped in a locked bicycle chain. The newest chapter of the Freaky Joe club consists of Conor, Timmy, and Jack, and their mission is to solve crimes and fight evil in Ship's Cove, Texas -- if they can only convince anyone that there is evil in Ship's cove.
    In their latest case, the freaky Joe Club has to found out who wants to keep the Ship's Cove Octopi's from winning a charity swimathon. What happened to the Octopi's life-size cutout of Sam Houston? Who could have taken it except their archrivals the Sylvan Glen Sharks.? How can you compete against Sharks when you have a really stupid theme song? And most of all,...

      The Case of the Smiling Shark - P. J. McMahon

      Chapter OneA Terrible Tale, or Two

      The time has come. I, Conor, code name The Condor, will record the tale of our second adventure. This is the task given to me as the founder of this club, and the one who was told of Freaky Joe.

      Yes, I am the one who must show my companions the true road a crime fighter must follow.

      Oh, and that true crime fighters should try not to damage each other.

      Or animals.

      Or small children.

      Basically anyone.

      And by the way, club members should be loyal to one another. Should remember that we are the good guys. So we don’t get one another in trouble.

      My task is not an easy one.

      I pick up the book. Large, red, chewed in one corner and bound with a bicycle chain, it has bold, black letters across the cover.

      THE SECRET FILES OF THE FREAKY JOE CLUB: DO NOT OPEN UNLESS YOU ARE A MEMBER OR ELSE.

      I chew the end of my pencil. Riley, The Beast, chews the end of my shoelace. Where to begin, where to begin. Can I truly tell the tale of those hot summer days? (It is always really hot here in Texas in the summer.)

      When in doubt, follow Freaky Joe’s advice: Rule Number Three B: Begin at the Beginning. Which would be in The Secret Place one morning.

      ·  ·  ·  ·

      I sit happily on the soccer ball beanbag chair, my feet up on the baseball beanbag chair. Except for Riley, I am alone this morning. Swim team practice begins soon, and I’ll have to go. But now, balancing a book on my knees, I read. The excitement is almost killing me.

      Remington Reedmarsh, Lemur Detective, the hero of my favorite series, is in an awful spot. He has taken refuge in a ruined castle. The forces of The Terrible Tyrant Tyler, a Marsupial of Enormous Size, are massing to attack the castle. Everyone is silent, waiting, till—BANG!

      The door to The Secret Place crashes open. The door handle knocks a hole in the exact spot of the hole I just fixed.

      Jack! What are you doing? I ask. My voice could be friendlier.

      Jack stands in the door, a large towel wrapped around his head like a turban.

      I’m getting here before Timmy, he explains. We called each other, counted to three. Jack snaps his fingers three times. Hung up, and raced here.

      He spreads his arms wide. Ta da!

      Ta da? I ask. Does ‘Ta da’ mean ‘I broke the door’?

      Uh. No. Jack looks at the new hole. Where he himself had made the first hole. Oops.

      Oops? Somehow breaking the wall, again, deserves more than an oops. Before I can think of something to say, the door flies open again.

      Timmy races in so fast he knocks Jack to the ground and lands on top of him. He is wearing a towel around his body like some strange strapless dress.

      I close Remington Reedmarsh and the Terrible Tyrant. This is the end of my reading.

      You won! Timmy says in disgust.

      I won, Jack agrees. At least I think that is what he said. He might have said Saigon or Ho hum. Difficult to be sure what he means when he is buried under Timmy.

      Riley is not sure what he is saying. Or what he is doing under Timmy. She licks his face to let him know.

      Ooooooh, yuck! Jack yells. Quite clearly.

      Hello, Riley girl. Timmy pulls what looks like a pretzel out of his back pocket and gives half to Riley.

      Don’t feed her too much, I tell Timmy. My mom says she is getting too plump.

      Plump? Jack asks, making the last p pop.

      If she’s too plump, it’s not our fault, Timmy says.

      We all turn. A newspaper picture, blown up and mounted, hangs on the wall next to a gorilla mask.

      Bubba Butowski, ace security guard of our neighborhood, Ship’s Cove, smiles out at the camera happily. By his side, Riley sits smiling with a large dog bone in her mouth.

      LOCAL SECURITY GUARD BREAKS UP BICYCLE THEFT RING

      I could not have done it without this great dog, the text reads. He could not have done it without us. In fact he did not do it.
