In this funny and clever middle grade mystery reminiscent of Rear Window and perfect for fans of the Mysterious Benedict Society series, Sophie Young and Grace Yang are best friends, seventh graders, and spies.
Sophie and Grace have made a game out of spying on their neighbors. On one of their midnight stakeouts, they witness a terrifying scene at the home of their bizarre middle-school counselor Dr. Charlotte Agford (also known as Dr. Awkward).
At least, they think they do. When the girls are proven wrong, they are still convinced that Dr. Agford is hiding a terrible secret--and they're determined to find out what it is. Soon the girls are breaking secret codes, being followed by a strange blue car, and tailing strangers with unibrows and Texas accents. But as their investigation heats up, Sophie and Grace start to crack under the pressure. Will solving the case destroy their friendship?
- Girl Detectives: Meet Sophie and Grace, seventh-grade best friends who turn their spying hobby into a full-blown, and hilarious, investigation.
- Middle School Drama: When the suspect is your bizarre school counselor, Dr. Awkward, getting caught means more than just detention.
- Suspense for Kids: From witnessing a terrifying scene to being followed by a mysterious blue car, the stakes keep getting higher for these young spies.
- A Friendship Story: The pressure of the case puts Sophie and Grace's bond to the ultimate test. Can their friendship survive the truth?
