Synopsis

Unravel the mystery behind this debut novel in the first of an amazing new series that reminds readers that friendship and teamwork can overcome any conspiracy – even ones that hit too close to home.

Chet Sayer loves to solve things. He always has. But the mystery he has stumbled upon during his first day of school is a most curious case. It starts when he's given the most mundane of all mundane writing assignments for his school newspaper, The Scribbler ... he has to interview the school mascot. But what starts as the worst assignment ever soon turns into a sprawling mystery that leaves a classmate's life on the line. What's more, it's a case that seems to hint at answers he's been searching for since his father's mysterious death two years earlier.

It doesn't take long for Chet to realize there are far more people involved in this conspiracy than he originally thought. And he'll need the help of his fellow News Hawks to unravel all the intriguing clues. Along the way he'll discover that having compassion and empathy are positive attributes that help overcome evil with good. But will his theories prove to be true? And if they are, will he like the revelations that come along for the ride? Like all good investigative reporters, Chet pursues the truth at all costs in this intriguing and adventurous tale of conspiracies and lies – and the ultimate form of friendship.

"We couldn't put this book down. My son and I read through this in less than a week because he got sucked into the mystery. The story has an old-school whodunnit feel, but it's relevant to today's preteen and teen culture."
– Steven Smith

"So many current books published today address serious issues (which is necessary) or focus on humor (such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid). But this book leans into fun and adventure. It doesn’t shy away from the seriousness or danger that Chet and his friends face. But it also embraces the fun nature of kids pushing the boundaries of their expectations and accomplishing more than most think they are capable of. It’s reminiscent of Last Kids on Earth, 39 Clues, or the Fun Jungle and Space Case books written by Stuart Gibbs. There’s also a bit of nostalgia with several sneaky references to pop culture from the 80’s and 90’s. This book feels like the school newspaper staff at Astoria High covering the Goonies. This book is heavy on adventure and fun."
– Zach Holden

"It's difficult to find longer books that are both interesting for older readers and appropriate for younger readers, but that's exactly what you find in this book. It's fun and exciting. We already can't wait for what follows."
– Tim Head
