Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found - murdered.
Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play? Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school? And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery?

With his family's move from Florida to Washington state, James is thrown into social chaos and finds himself hunting for Big Foot while trying to dodge the school bullies and keep himself off the endangered species list.

Join James and all the strange and interesting people he meets in his adventures. You'll never think of Big Foot the same way again.
