Description
In The Last Chance for Logan County, the third Legendary Alston Boys mystery from Edgar Award nominee Lamar Giles, Otto and Sheed team up with the Epic Ellisons against a corporation that wants Logan County's weirdness for itself!
Otto and Sheed are back in yet another legendary adventure that just might take all their deduction skills, and a little help, to solve.
With their journey through the last mirror on the left behind them, Otto and Sheed are ready for things to get back to normal. But their trip to that other dimension had side effects, and they come on quickly—starting with a thunderstorm that rains carnivorous frogs!
And that's only the beginning. When a suspicious company called GOO, obsessed with Logan County's weirdness, shows up and starts buying all the property in town—and threatening to take Sheed away from Otto—some of the adults start acting stranger than usual, almost... zombie-like?
With the help of Otto's mom, Sheed's dad, and the Epic Ellison twins, can the Legendary Alston Boys find a way to save their town and keep their family together?

"Fills a gaping void in children's literature.... Every child, regardless of background, deserves adventure void of trauma... deserves to exist in magical spaces... should have the freedom to be one of The Legendary Alstons. And I, for one, am grateful to Giles, and this brilliant story, for that reminder." — Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor–winning author of Stuntboy, in the Meantime, on The Last Last-Day-of-Summer
"Giles does a magnificent job of blending otherworldly hijinks with the complex emotions and cultural touchpoints of growing up Black in the U.S. South.... Another great entry from an author who consistently delivers." — Kirkus Reviews
"A humorous, fast-paced, surreal fantasy adventure story featuring resourceful kids working together to defeat evil; perfect for fans of Carlos Hernandez's Sal & Gabi Break the Universe. Highly recommended." — School Library Journal

The fantastic adventures of cousins Otto and Sheed in uber-weird Logan County continue in this third series installment. This town is unlike any other: There are portals to alternate universes, and nothing is what you would expect. It seems someone's always scheming. Luckily, with Otto and Sheed's teamwork, deductive superpowers, imagination, and persistence, they always find a way to save the day--at least for the moment. Now, Sheed is glowing like a night light, and there's a new corporation in town making some really suspicious moves. There also are frogs raining on Grandma's house, a situation quickly upstaged by the entrance of Otto's mom and Sheed's dad, siblings who, for better or worse, never see anything the same way. But the family is united on one point: Sheed is glowing from the effects of U-rays, or uncanny rays, and if the secret gets out, they'll have even more problems with the ultra-mysterious GOO, Inc. The cousins' rivals, the Ellison twin sisters, are circling too, wondering whether their local chase for were-men (the opposite of werewolves--as in, wolves who turn into men) may be connected. Giles does a magnificent job of blending otherworldly hijinks with the complex emotions and cultural touchpoints of growing up Black in the U.S. South. As family dynamics push the duo in different directions, can they solve this puzzle and remain together at Grandma's for the sake of Logan County's future? Another great entry from an author who consistently delivers. (Science fiction. 8-12)COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Gr 4-7-Logan County, VA, is a place where "anything can happen," and what's happening right now is a storm of Tooth Frogs. Cousins Otto and Sheed, the Legendary Alston Boys, fight off the Tooth Frogs with their grandma, but more alarming visitors arrive: Otto's mom and Sheed's dad. Since returning from a trip to Warped World, Sheed has been "radiating weirdness" and acting as a beacon for more weirdness, including a new company called GOO, Inc. that is buying up all the "weirderfront property" in Logan County. The Legendary Alston Boys team up with the Epic Ellison Girls, Leen and Wiki, to protect their town; stakes are especially high for Otto and Sheed, who worry their parents will split them up. With Otto's compulsive note-taking and deductions, Leen's tech gadgets, Wiki's photographic memory, and Sheen's uncanny power-as well as their strong bonds with each other-the boys and girls make a formidable team. Giles provides sufficient background for readers new to the series, but his hints at past adventures will likely inspire new fans to go back to previous titles. All main characters are Black. VERDICT A humorous, fast-paced, surreal fantasy adventure story featuring resourceful kids working together to defeat evil; perfect for fans of Carlos Hernandez's Sal & Gabi Break the Universe. Highly recommended.-Jenny Arch, Lilly Lib., Florence, MA
