YA
Determined to avoid being the traditional "girl detective type," prep-schooler Lulu Dark creates her own sleuthing style to crack a case of mistaken identity and murder. The novel's serious mysteries are undercut by frequent references to celebrities and luxury brand names. However, Lulu comes across as a sassy and confident protagonist, and readers will enjoy her spying success.
