Hoax for Hire

ebook

Goonies meets the humor and heart of Gordon Korman in this new adventure full of nonstop action and spot-on humor from the critically acclaimed author of Float.

The McNeil family has always been professional hoaxers—tricking bystanders into believing they're seeing legendary creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

Unlike the rest of his family, twelve-year-old Grayson hates hoaxing and wants nothing to do with the business—even when the McNeils land a huge job and must pull off four sea monster hoaxes in a week.

But when things go disastrously wrong and Dad and Gramps go missing, Grayson and his brother, Curtis, are the only people who can finish the job and save their family.


With their family's reputation and freedom on the line, can two brothers who never agree on anything pull off the hoax of a lifetime?


  • Sibling Rivalry: Grayson just wants a normal life. His older brother Curtis can't wait to join the family business. When their dad and grandpa disappear, they'll have to rely on each other to survive.
  • Cryptid Hoaxes: From faking Bigfoot tracks to building a believable Loch Ness Monster, the McNeils are the best in the business—but their biggest rivals are closing in.
  • Action-Packed Adventure: A high-stakes, cross-country chase pits the McNeil brothers against a rival family of hoaxers in a race to save their family and pull off four sea monster sightings.
  • Humorous Story: Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman, this middle grade adventure is loaded with laugh-out-loud moments, witty banter, and hilarious mishaps.
