Summer, 1959. Teen-detective Mary-Sue Welles loves three things: solving mysteries, reading science-fiction, and solving mysteries. When she overhears reports of a monster lurking around her small seaside town, Mary-Sue thinks that it might just be the perfect opportunity to go from sidekick to partner in her amateur sleuthing duo. However, The Britannica Junior Detectives are under threat by the machinations of an equally sinister force: romance. Valedictorian, prom king, and renowned sleuth Danny Britannica has just gotten his first crush. No, not class president, prom queen, and all-around swell gal Sondra Feihly. His attention is drawn by the dark, enigmatic words of a beatnik poet who claims that the world is about to end. As he pursues the mysterious girl, Danny realizes that there's a lot more to the world than sock-hops and soda fountains-and he begins to suspect that his atomic scientist father may not be on the right side of the Cold War. As Danny dives into the counterculture, Mary-Sue dives into her investigation. She follows her leads to the swamp at the edge of town where she meets a handsome outcast teen rebel who claims that what she's searching for isn't a monster at all, it's an alien, and he can take her to its flying saucer. That is, if the government conspiracy trying to cover up the truth doesn't get in the way first. This fun, warm, and gripping love-letter to YA amateur detectives like Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys is a gripping and twisty mystery with lots of lovable, quirky small-town characters and a touch of romance. Readers rave "There's lots of humor, there's drama, some social commentary, and of course a big helping of mystery and suspense that keeps you turning those pages. The writing is rich and strikes the perfect tone, never taking itself too seriously, while still treating the characters as real." "Gallagher updates the teenage detective trope with fully realized characters who are allowed to err, learn, and grow." "A clever thriller reminiscent of a Nancy Drew mystery type of book." "Engaging plot with relatable characters in a throw-back setting. I read it and loved it. So did my 12 year old daughter " This cozy and empowering mystery is the perfect rainy-day read.
