The Adventures of Orie Alexander - The Story Thief (Paperback Edition)

On the eve of the Annual Storytelling Contest, the town of Weeping Willow is plagued by the mysterious disappearance of the minds of its most prominent citizens, leaving them a blank and empty shell devoid of all memories and stories from their lifetimes. Only one boy can see the connection between the robberies and the appearance of an old-fashioned radio, and his investigation leads him into an adventure full of excitement and danger... Orie Alexander, an 11-year-old boy with the knack for getting himself into trouble, finds that solving the mystery of the missing stories more difficult than he thought when his inquiries bring him from an old abandoned theater all the way to the eerie house of a once-great magician. With time running out and the life of his grandfather and the rest of the town at stake, Orie must face his fears and solve the mystery of the stolen stories! This is the first chapter in a series of exciting adventures for Orie Alexander.
