Snowize & Snitch: Highly Effective Defective Detectives

Gr 4–6—A middle grade adventure that hooks readers right in the first chapter with a strong female character and a cryptic message from a crow about her missing parents. Ever Indigo Nikita Stein is enrolled at the School for Gifted Children of Genius Parents—even though her genius parents are missing and presumed dead. She is pulled into an adventure when her guardian, legendary Doctor Professor David Ezratty (otherwise known to students as "Scatty Batty Ezratty" and the creator of invisible ice cream), goes missing and it is up to Ever to find him. With the help of the Highly Effective Snowize and Snitch Detectives (a onetime spy and a dignified rat), the characters, along with a "mean-spirited robot fridge," embark on a long journey through time to find all of Ever's missing relatives. Ever is a successful underdog forced to rely on her wit and humor and her oddball team as they race through an international quest to find the missing geniuses and capture the evil mastermind.
