FreeK Week

Narrated by: Melissa Epp

Winner of the 2015 Florida Book Festival Grand Prize, the New England Book Festival Award, and the Mom's Choice gold.

FreeK Week is number three in the FreeKs series featuring psychic teen detectives.

Spring break in Florida is a blast - for the FreeKs it's a killer

Five of the psychic teens are going to Florida over spring break. They can stay with fellow FreeK Caroline and their mentors Bando, Rose, and Twait. But somebody wants them to stay home and will use fire, rattlesnakes, and more to keep them away. As they prepare to leave New England, Charlie has one of his dreams - a murder and a kidnapping - only it's happening in real time in the Sunshine State. The dead man is a former circus midget who worked with Twait, Bando, and Rose in their sideshow days. And that's just the first murder. The trail will take the FreeKs from Cassadaga (psychic medium capital of the world) to Gibsonton (Freaktown USA, America's Weirdest Town) - with side trips to The Villages (Florida's Friendliest Hometown, unless somebody's out to kill you) and Ocala (Horse Capital of the World) - and finally to the capital, Tallahassee. What the teens will remember about FreeK Week won't be their visit to Daytona Beach or the airboat ride in the gator swamps - it'll be sharing their gifts, working together, and fighting to survive.

The series has now won 24 international awards, including four Mom's Choice golds, the Moonbeam Award (silver), and a host of Book Festival awards.

Great YA sci-fi detective

The story was a really good continuation of the series and while the twists and turns were somewhat predictable it was still very enjoyable.
