Alex Sparrow Books in Order

Young would-be agent Alex Sparrow can detect lies, while his friend Jess communicates with animals. When classmates begin transforming into unnaturally obedient pupils, they must discover who is erasing everyone’s differences and stop the scheme before it reaches them.

Alex hopes for a more exciting mission than catching escaped guinea pigs, while Jess volunteers at an animal sanctuary. Frightened animals, missing possessions and aggressive squirrels soon suggest a mystery that will require both friends’ unusual abilities.

Members of a local Zumba class appear to die and return as zombies, threatening Alex’s mother and grandmother. Alex, Jess and Dave must unravel the creatures’ attraction to Christmas lights and identify the mastermind before the holidays are ruined.
