Winner of the 2021 City of Victoria Children’s Book PrizeWinner of the 2022 Jean Little First-Novel AwardIt’s the summer of 1978 and most people think Elvis Presley has been dead for a year. But not eleven-year-old Truly Bateman – because she knows Elvis is alive and well and living in the Eagle Shores Trailer Park. Maybe no one ever thought to look for him at on the Eagle Shores First Nation on Vancouver Island.It’s a busy summer for Truly. Though her mother is less of a mother than she ought to be, and spends her time drinking and smoking and working her way through new boyfriends, Truly is determined to raise as much money for herself as she can through her lemonade stand … and to prove that her cool new neighbour is the one and only King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. And when she can’t find motherly support in her own home, she finds sanctuary with Andy El, the Salish woman who runs the trailer park.

Missing jewelry, a false accusation, and a real thief. Shamus the Urban Rez Dog, P.I. is on the case.The name’s Shamus. I’m a special kind of dog known as a Rez Dog. That means I’m a mix of different breeds and I come from a reserve. I live in the city with Mom and the twins, Rainey and Cole. We are one of many Indigenous families on our block. Life is great — until Mom is falsely accused of stealing from the jewelry store she’s worked at for years. When the kids and I set out to catch the real thief, we discover some surprising and, if I do say so myself, hilarious clues — including a false wall, a lucky bowling ball, and a vicious poodle named Hepzibah!

Twelve-year-old Halley’s life is falling apart faster than the farm’s leaky roof. Mom, Auntie Lynn and Spider are too busy working overtime and arguing over repairs. Her bat-crazy best friend, a volunteer at the bat sanctuary, forms the Bat Club at school with new student and child star Elektra Storm. Halley’s too ashamed to admit she’s terrified of bats, only to lose her temper and insult them all, leaving her feeling ostracized and alone.A solution appears when her absentee-astronomer dad invites her on a camping trip. Halley hatches Operation Stargazer: She’ll study up on astronomy and convince Dad she should live with him!But the operation begins to go awry when Dad changes their plans, inviting neurodivergent astronomy whiz kid Leo along. Next, Halley breaks out in hives. Then Dad gets injured. Trapped behind a growing forest fire, Halley and Leo must work together to get them all to safety.
