There is a unique story surrounding the Jodi Fischer books. I wrote them in the early 1980s and was blessed to have Moody Publishing Company put them into print. However, after the fifth book, The Secret of the Alaskan Gift, Moody decided to take them off the shelves. And there they sat for many, many years.
In 2011, I dusted them off and updated the first two books, and they are available as eBooks and paperbacks! There are a few changes. For those that read the books so long ago, MaryAnn is now Lexie Marshal, but she and Jodi are just as lively, curious and bound for danger as they were in the original books.

Adventure and danger are on every page of this book. You won't be able to put it down!
