This is not your mother's Nancy Drew. Randi Guseberri is the leader of The Pink Sneakers Club, an aspiring wannabe detective, who's always got a plan. Kaye West is the tough, Goth girl with a personality that's always covered in sarcasm and quick wit, and an absolute whiz when it comes to computers. Caren James is the typical blond hair blue-eyed beauty, with her ballerina posture and stolid gaze, she's often pegged as arrogant or aloof. And last but not least is Deirdre Brocktin, the shy, quiet science geek. On an ordinary Thursday afternoon at 3:05 pm the Chemical Plant across the river sounds its horn indicating a shift change . . . followed by a scream. Belinda Johnson falls from the school roof, her body slamming onto the hood of a parked SUV. The primary suspect - her Quarterback boyfriend Mark Harris. Now the girls will race to find out what happened to Belinda and help Mark Harris who has been arrested. But as they get closer to the truth they realize that all is not as it seems. Randi, Caren, Kaye and Deirdre will be plunged into a conspiracy that could threaten their very lives unless they uncover the truth in time. The Pink Sneakers Club is a fast paced story with rich characters and witty dialogue narrated in the voice of each girl. It has some of the tried and true stereotypes one comes to rely on in mystery stories, with several twists and turns that make it brilliantly unique. With its detail and violence, this book is not for the faint of heart.
