Max Willis Foxton Very, Very, Very Old Mystery

Annotation

Theres a lot of family history in the Morris clan, and young Jeremiah is only beginning to figure things out. The whole mess starts when Jeremiah visits Papa in Britain. It soon becomes freakishly apparent that most of Jeremiahs ancestors dating back to 1745 currently reside in Papas atticand they are full of useful information. It turns out his eighth great-uncle Edgar was wrongly hung for murder centuries ago. Inspired by his ninth-greats-grandparents, Mortimer and Leila (Earl and Countess Poppycock, as they were known), Jeremiah decides to help his disgraced relative and solve a mystery from the 1700s to bring closure to Edgar and his beloved Jemima. Throughout his investigation, Jeremiah makes a shocking discovery: some of his ancestors really are killers. As he solves an old mystery, a new murder has to be stopped: Jeremiahs own! With the help of other quick-thinking ancestors, he must avoid becoming another dead occupant of Papas attic. To stay alive, Jeremiah will quickly learn what kindness and fair play can do against evil.
