For the first time ever, the reading public, the
whole world, can learn the truth about THE
FREAKY JOE CLUB!
The pages of SECRET FILE NUMBER ONE:
THE MYSTERY OF THE SWIMMING GORILLA are ready
to be opened, and here is where it all begins. At least, begins this
time...
On a hot, hot, summer’s day in June (it is always hot in this
part of Texas in June), Conor asks Jack and Timmy to meet him. In
a new place, The Secret Place. Here he tells them the news. THE
FREAKY JOE CLUB is about to begin a new series of
adventures.
Jack and Timmy have been chosen. To join Conor and The Beast as Secret
Agents who will fight evil and solve mysteries. There can be only
three.
Jack declares, “I’ll be
so good at that!”
But Conor warns him, warns them both. “You have to be brave.”
This turns out to be true. 
The newly formed club is:
a) chased by an angry bike riding horde, and
b) has a daring escape, but
c) is, oh no, forced to baby-sit, and then
d) has a close encounter with a gorilla?
Which raises the question- is there more than one beast loose in Ship’s
Cove?
The answer to that, and oh so much more, is between the pages of THE
FREAKY JOE CLUB, SECRET FILE NUMBER ONE.


Recently opened for all to see is SECRET
FILE NUMBER TWO, of THE
FREAKY JOE CLUB.
Yes, THE CASE OF THE SMILING SHARK,
is now available for anyone to read.
In these pages, THE FREAKY JOE CLUB
begins to rest after the exciting business of their first case, having
just stopped dancing the famous end zone dance. But there is no rest
for a Secret Agent.
Another case comes knocking at their door.
Or, to be more accurate, comes splashing up in their faces at the
Ship’s Cove pool. The pool is home to the Ship’s Cove
Octopi, a fast moving, award winning swim team. Well, okay, home to
a bunch of neighborhood kids who swim together. And some of them actually
know how. To swim.
But they are a team, a team unified in their common goal: to not be
completely humiliated the next time they swim against the Sylvan Glen
Sharks. A team determined to help Coach Greta, the famous whistle
blowing, cement truck driving coach. For she wants to win the big
swim-a-thon, and show everyone just how tough the Octopi really are.
Are they?
Are Conor, Timmy and Jack tough enough, brave enough to solve the
Case of the Smiling Shark?
Will this Secret File reveal
the truth about Bubba Butowski?
Will the boys be seriously hurt by flying candy corn?
There is only one way to find out. Read THE
FREAKY JOE CLUB, SECRET FILE NUMBER TWO.
And remember what The Condor says. Any day spent reading a mystery
is a good day.
