    About this series

    My name is Cora Caulfield, and I'm an older lady now. But when I was a child, my last name was Dubois. That's French, pronounced dew-BWAH. It was almost Halloween of 1953. My friends and I had been so involved in trying to get Mr. Bigg to help Tito Gonzales and his family that we hadn’t even thought about costumes.
    Ruby heard a scream one night. She thought it might be a ghost, but her brother George laughed at that idea. OK, we all laughed. But Ruby insisted she’d heard something. Then George heard it too! What did we find? What did we decide to be for Halloween?

      Set in the 1950s, Cora Dubois, Jimmie Mosher and their friends, Laszlo, George, and Ruby, discover they have a talent for getting to the bottom of local mysteries. Each book includes a "forgotten" craft or skill, and may address social/moral issues of the mid-twentieth century. In The Secret Cellar (Dubois Files book #1), Jimmie's family is in danger of losing their farm to the bank. Old Granny May seems to be trying to tell them something, but maybe she's just losing her mind.

      (Dubois Files book #3) George Harris liked writing messages in secret code. In August of 1953, he learned one that was tough to crack, and taught it to his sister Ruby, and then to his friends Jimmie Mosher and Cora Dubois. When the four of them were offered a job picking up trash at the Cherry Pit Junction canning factory, someone listened in on their conversation and stole a coder. The children were playing games, but what were the adults up to?

      (Dubois Files book #4) It was September of 1953. Jimmie, George and Cora were moving into the upper level classroom of their two-room schoolhouse, leaving their friends Laszlo, and George's sister Ruby, in the other room. But on the very first day of school, someone began yelling at Ruby! Not everyone was happy that the children had helped break up the ring of thieves. They had been stealing from the Cherry Pit Junction canning factory where Cora's father was the manager. And then there was Mr. Bigg. He was the owner of the canning factory, and why he acted the way he did was certainly a mystery. Cora didn't think that was a riddle she and her friends could solve.
