Monthly Digital Digest
See Mackin's author interview with James Ponti! Given the number of bestseller and award lists James Ponti’s books have been featured on, it might seem like he’s earned the chance to take a break. Instead, the creator of several enormously popular middle grade series—City Spies, Framed!, and Dead City—has added even more to his to-do list. Along with releasing book 5 of the City Spies series with Mission Manhattan (Aladdin) in February 2024, he also launched his fourth series in September 2024, with the first title featuring the series name: The Sherlock Society (Aladdin). Already the recipient of multiple starred reviews, this new action-packed story features a group of middle-school kids who start a detective agency and set off on a hunt for a famous long-lost treasure—only to end up in the middle of a contemporary environmental mystery hidden deep in Florida’s Everglades.
