In 2005, Grabenstein's debut novel was the first in the adult Ceepack Mysteries series, Tilt-a-Whirl , called an "entertaining debut" by The New York Times and given a Library Journal starred review. [1] [3] He has subsequently written more books in this series, called a "mash-up of Jersey Shore, Big Brother, and Survivor." [4]

Grabenstein has also written many novels for children, including the Agatha and Anthony award-winning Haunted Mysteries series and the New York Times bestselling Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library. He has also co-authored a number of books with author James Patterson, for whom he previously worked when he was in advertising. [5]
