Every small town has a legend - Nora's happens to be true.
Nora Vasquez-Finch has spent her whole life trying to get someone to believe her about Blackglass Lake. Then a cryptid-hunting TV crew rolls into town with a five-thousand-dollar reward and a live reveal booked for Founder's Day, and Nora finally has the one thing she never wanted: proof that would destroy the very thing she's trying to protect.
With her friends Kai and Devika, Nora has one week to stop a camera crew, keep a secret that isn't just hers anymore, and figure out what she actually owes something that trusted her first.
Something in the Water is Book One in The Static County Files - a warm, funny, kid-led adventure about a found family, a real secret worth keeping, and a creature worth rooting for, not fearing.
Perfect for readers who want their mystery a little spooky, their friendships real, and their monsters treated kindly.
