In the Dark, by Carole Poustie

 Middle Grade Fiction. A novel for ages 10+

 Secrets. Lies. Itentity. Crime.

Ish is back, and he’s discovered an undelivered letter from his late Grandpa in the forbidden cellar at Gran’s place which hints at an unsettling family secret. As he tries to find out the truth without letting on he’s been in the cellar, Ish finds himself caught up with a gang of criminals who seem intent on using and double crossing him.

This is the second book in Carole Poustie’s trilogy about Ish. It’s exciting and a little bit grungy, while still including Ish’s signature poetic touch.
