Menace in the Walls is a fictional story about a 13- year- old boy, Joshua, working in a research laboratory in Cleveland General Hospital during a summer break. He stumbles upon the hazard that claimed the life of his beloved horse, Mandy. He is determined to solve the mystery. During the course of the book, Joshua uncovers his sister Kelley's inadvertent link to a sinister plot involving the mysterious deaths of infants. Readers are faced with the question of whether Joshua can solve the case without putting his life and Kelley's in danger.

The story is based on true medical events surrounding a mysterious mold in Cleveland, Ohio during the early 1990s. Dr. Dorr G. Dearborn of the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine who was the principle investigator on this case advised me on the medical aspect of the story. The appeal of the story is that it is engaging, as well as educational- 10-14 year old boys and girls will learn about the toxic mold and its dangers and how to prevent it. By weaving science into 'action-packed' fictional stories, my goal is to bring joy and excitement to young readers while they read and learn about science.
