Dave and his friends arrive the first day of class at Orchard Street Christian School, only to find there have been some changes since last year. There are new rules to learn and obey, new uniforms, and new students in their learning center. Dave’s friends worry they won’t be able to remember the new rules and will get in trouble for not observing them. Their teacher holds class meetings to discuss the new rules, and on how to remember and obey them. Still Dave worries. At 12 years old, he is the world’s worst worrier! Who will be the first student to get too many demerits and be sent to the principal’s office? Dave’s class has two new students, twins Danny and Donnie. Why is Donnie absent the first day? What did the twin’s mother tell the class about Donnie’s problem? What did the class do to help him with it? Did Donnie get over his problem in time to rejoin the class? How did the twins affect the results when the class voted? Last year every vote ended in a tie: six boys against six girls. And when there are new games, how do the new rules affect choosing teams? To find the answers, read this story and the next book in the Orchard Street Gang series, Back to Orchard Street.

Those first three volumes were overwhelmingly received, and there were soon calls for additional collections. Since then, their popularity has only continued to grow. And now we present a new three-volume set. Like 2017's two-volume set, Eliminate the Impossible, and 2019's three-volume Whatever Remains . . . Must Be the Truth, "However Improbable . . . ." features tales of Holmes's encounters with seemingly impossible events - ghosts and hauntings and crimes and events that cannot have happened - but apparently did! The fifty-eight stories in these three companion volumes represent some of the finest new Holmesian storytelling to be found, and honor the man described by Watson as “the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known.” Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as “the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known.” All royalties from this collection are being donated by the writers for the benefit of the preservation of Undershaw for special needs students, (formerly “Stepping Stones”,) one of the former homes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As of June 2022, these books, through the continuing efforts of the amazing contributors and the wonderful worldwide supporters, have raised over $100,000 for the school!
