Sally Singletary's Curiosity J M Cataffo

In this genre-bending Young Adult novel, Sally Singletary is faced with the strange disappearance of three students and a teacher. As chief editor for the school's high-tech online newsletter, she's determined to get the scoop on what's really happening and what it means for the students at Hidden Lake Preparatory School. With the help of a little magic and few new friends, she discovers a scheme that's far bigger than she could've ever imagined. Can this teen sleuth find a way to stop a plot that may have far-reaching consequences for all of mankind, or will Sally Singletary's Curiosity lead to the end of humanity? Sally Singletary started as way to bring back the nostalgia of the Nancy Drew series. After re-reading some of the originals, it was clear that any attempts at staying true to the original were going to be difficult. Nancy Drew catered to a different era. While keeping aspects of Nancy Drew mysteries, the author wanted a fresh and contemporary feel and perspective. To that aim, this series takes the best qualities of Nancy Drew and puts them into a Fantasy world. Faced with more than simple small town crimes, these books bring more excitement to a modern audience. This isn't the Nancy Drew you remember! But it retains the sense of mystery and wonder while throwing in some romance, magic, and friendship.
