Arlo thinks his mother is crazy for taking a job in a small town, far away from his old home and his good friends. To make matters worse, the students at his new school are crazy—hockey crazy. Arlo has never laced up a pair of skates in his life, and he's not about to start. To avoid making a complete fool of himself in front of his classmates, Arlo joins a group of misfits called the Dumpster Dudes, who set him a series of wild initiation tests that unleash mayhem on the school. Broken windows in the classrooms, angry ants in the hallways, bicycles in the library and monsters in the air ducts—can East Bend Elementary survive Arlo? And will Arlo survive East Bend?
Oliver has helicopter parents-they love him, but they seriously cramp his style. He decides to fill an old wooden box with souvenirs from some of his outrageous and daring exploits. That way, he'll never forget the zombies, the killer dogs and the crazy cows, and his parents will never know that he once jumped from a bridge with the police in hot pursuit. But the biggest shock comes when Oliver realizes that the most terrifying things of all can't be controlled or contained.
Take one prankster, put her together with the editor of the world's most boring school newspaper, add one over-worked principal, and you've got a recipe for the most chaotic few weeks in the history of Upland Green Elementary. The unlikely duo of Martin Wettmore, editor and expert grammarian, and Trixi Wilder, prankster extraordinaire, is given the task of improving the pathetic sales of their school newspaper. Martin and Trixi clash over everything from journalistic integrity (Trixi has none) to imagination (Martin has none). But when the paper starts to wreak havoc at the school, Principal Baumgartner shuts it down and assigns Trixi to Saturday morning bus-washing duty. To redeem themselves, Martin and Trixi resolve to create one very special edition of the Upland Green Examiner.
When Oliver's best friends Reggie, Karl, and Grayson move away, he desperately tries to strike up a new friendship with the new kid at school- Garret, a basketball star with attitude. Oliver's desperation to be friends with Garret lead him into a comedically disastrous try-out for the school basketball team. Upon returning home one day after practice, Oliver surprises two burglars in the midst of performing a robbery. He recognizes them. It's Diggory, his old friend and his father, Dragon. Oliver watches as they escape-Dragon with his grandmother's precious candle stick, and Diggory clutching the Box of Shocks under his arm. As the only witness to the robbery, Oliver faces a difficult dilemma. Does he report the robbery and get his old friend in trouble with the law, or does he keep the details of the robbery a secret? Oliver's ultimate decision has unexpected consequences, particularly when he attempts to save Diggory from Dragon. The only contact Oliver has with Diggory is through cryptic messages left in the Box of Shocks which is hidden in a tomb in the cemetery. In his attempts to help his friend, Oliver discovers who or what actually lives in the mysterious Milburn House, tries to rescue a diamond ring from a toilet bowl, has an unfortunate incident while wearing over-sized gym shorts, and finds an unexpected friend in the first girl ever to try out for the boys' basketball team. Readers of Box of Shocks will discover answers to their many unresolved questions, while readers new to Oliver, Diggory and their Box of Shocks will discover a world of slap-stick humour, friendship, and personal fulfillment.

Winner of the 2002 Scotiabank Giller Prize and of the 2003 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize: Best Book (Canada and the Caribbean) When an elderly Bimshire village woman calls the police to confess to a murder, the result is a shattering all-night vigil that brings together elements of the African diaspora in one epic sweep. Set on the post-colonial West Indian island of Bimshire in 1952, The Polished Hoe unravels over the course of 24 hours but spans the lifetime of one woman and the collective experience of a society informed by slavery. As the novel opens, Mary Mathilda is giving confession to Sargeant, a police officer she has known all her life. The man she claims to have murdered is Mr. Belfeels, the village plantation owner for whom she has worked for more than thirty years. Mary has also been Mr. Belfeels’ mistress for most of that time and is the mother of his only son, Wilberforce, a successful doctor. What transpires through Mary’s words and recollections is a deep meditation about the power of memory and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. Infused with Joycean overtones, this is a literary masterpiece that evokes the sensuality of the tropics and the tragic richness of Island culture.
