About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with post-achievement blues or needs to see a protagonist who manages clinical anxiety while pursuing their passions. Stevie Bell has already solved a world-famous mystery, and now she is navigating the pressure of what comes next. Set against the backdrop of a summer camp, the story balances a gripping 1970s cold case with the very modern reality of teenage social dynamics and mental health. It is a sophisticated mystery that rewards logical thinking and highlights the importance of loyal friendships. While it involves a murder investigation, the focus remains on Stevie's deductive process and her relatability as a girl who feels most like herself when she is solving a puzzle. It is an excellent choice for 14 to 18 year olds who enjoy complex plotting and realistic character growth.
