    About this series

    Join the stars of the Frightmares thrillers, Rosie and Kayo, as they take on bright lights and dark deeds to uncover the art thief responsible for stealing the most valuable painting of the Oakwood Art Museum.

    Rosie’s dog is a star! Rosie Saunders and Kayo Benton are thrilled when their new friend Lyle Guthrie recommends Bone Breath the dog for a carry-on part in Pirate’s Plunder at the Oakwood Community Theater.

    The girls are so busy working backstage that they nearly forget about the scandal at the Oakwood Art Museum—the museum’s most valuable painting is a forgery!

    But when Rosie finds a Van Gogh painting in the theater’s storeroom, she knows the thief is too close for comfort.

    Is the painting real or is it another fake? Someone is willing to do anything to conceal the crime … and if they don’t act quickly, Rosie, Kayo, and Lyle will become the next victims!

      When sixth-grader Rosie Saunders asks her best friend, Kayo Benton, to come along on her family's summer trip, the girls look forward to a perfect vacation. Their first stop is a campground in the colorful Arizona desert, where Rosie and Kayo busily explore trails lined with the almost-human forms of the Saguaro cactus. Soon they have found a new animal friend, too: a tiny abandoned kitten. But the eerie shapes of the giant plants aren't the only spooky things in the desert. Kidnappers looking for the daughter of a wealthy businessman grab Kayo by mistake. Now, instead of trying to find a home for the kitten, Rosie desperately searches for a way to rescue Kayo from the two rough men who have carried her away into the desert night. In each addition to the Frightmare series, Peg Kehret provides plenty of suspense while the two girls' love for animals leads them into perilous adventures. The nonstop action will whisk you through Desert Danger at a hair-raising pace.

      Doll museum burglarized! Kayo Benton and Rosie Saunders race to the museum to check on their favorite dolls. Everything seems okay. But the keys to the display cases are missing. And the musical mohair cat is playing a song … as if squeezed by unseen hands. Someone … something … is watching them. But who? And who is the strangelooking soldier in the rumpled uniform who's following them, beckoning them to return? Rosie thinks it's a ghost—a ghost with a tragic secret. Soon they're back again, locked in the museum after closing time, trapped between two ghosts—and a pair of ruthless thieves … “[Kehret] … combines a good mystery with an exciting ghost story.”—Booklist
