The third book in a Dahl-esque middle-grade series by award-winning poet and screenwriter Esta Spalding.

The plucky Fitzgerald-Trout siblings (who live on a tropical island where the grown-ups are useless but the kids can drive) are back! After losing the boat that had become their home, oldest Fitzgerald-Trout, Kim, has put finding a home back on her to-do list. When her sixth-grade history assignment offers a clue about the ruins of a volcanic house built by an explorer on Mount Muldoon, she and her siblings set out to find it.
     The castle they discover surpasses their wildest dreams. But having a permanent home offers more challenges than the Fitzgerald-Trouts expect, especially when they begin to suspect their home is haunted. The siblings must figure out how to fix the cracks in their family foundation before one of them is lost for good.

Praise for Shout Out for the Fitzgerald-Trouts

PRAISE FOR KNOCK ABOUT WITH THE FITZGERALD-TROUTS:
"With its dry humor, over the top storyline and whimsical illustrations by Sydney Smith that capture the offbeat tone of the text, this page-turner is bound to delight the imagination of readers aged 8-12." --CM Magazine

PRAISE FOR LOOK OUT FOR THE FITZGERALD-TROUTS:
Nominated, Manitoba Young Readers' Choice Award, 2017
Nominated, Red Cedar Award, 2017

"Have you ever wanted to live on an island filled with selfish grownups and blood-sucking iguanas hiding in a dark and mysterious forest? Me neither. But the brave and inventive Fitzgerald-Trouts have such fascinating lives that I just might reconsider--as soon as I read this glorious book again, at least twice. I salute thee, Fitzgerald-Trouts!" --Lemony Snicket

"Spalding, a poet and screenwriter making her children's book debut, balances the direness of their situation with over-the-top characters and humor-driven narration. If the story's magic lies in its Dahl-esque approach to topics like homelessness and parental neglect, its heart lies in the relationship between these four mutually devoted children." --Publishers Weekly
