Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Has anyone heard of the Jackaby series, by William Ritter? Because they are AMAZING. AMAZING, I TELL YOU. The first one is called Jackaby, then Beastly Bones, Ghostly Echoes, and finally The Dire King. I'm halfway through Ghostly Echoes, and it's all been so wonderful.

The series is set in the late 1800s in the small town of New Fiddleham, New England. Abigail Rook has recently come across the ocean from England, where she was raised to be a proper lady. Abigail, however wants to hunt for dinosaur bones with her father, the great Daniel Rook. Eventually she runs away to America, and meets a man called Jackaby. He is a detective of the supernatural, and she becomes his assistant. This has sounded incredibly professional, but I assure you, I am not. Just please, at least try the first one. You probably (hopefully) won't regret it.
