Fifteen-year-old Scotty Johannsen knows the war is everywhere-ration books on the kitchen table, blackout curtains drawn tight, and his father's stern voice calling for lights out. But when a string of fires erupts during the nightly blackouts, fear creeps into the quiet streets of Ravenna Park. Rumors swirl: saboteurs, spies, and traitors lurk among the neighbors. Scotty's older brother Erik, already haunted by the draft and the forced internment of his girlfriend's family, becomes the target of a bully's accusation: Erik is the firebug.Torn between loyalty to his brother and the duty pressed on him by his father, the local air raid warden, Scotty is thrust into a world of suspicion and secrets. As he and his friends scramble to uncover the truth, the lines between childhood games and real danger blur. The stakes are no longer just about catching a culprit-they're about protecting family, confronting prejudice, and facing the cost of war at home.An Empty House Doesn't Sneeze is a gripping coming-of-age mystery set against the tense backdrop of World War II Seattle, where every blackout hides more than just shadows, and courage means choosing who-and what-you stand for.An Empty House Doesn't Sneeze is the recipient of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, finalist in CIBA's Hemingway Book Awards, and runner-up winner of the PenCraft Book Award.The novel contains no gratuitous language, but there are a few slurs that are true to the historical setting and swear words-in keeping with the characters and story. …
