Meet Gracie Lo. She's a spunky 19 year-old with an appetite for adventure and a mindset for mystery. Gracie's smart, brave, loyal and fiercely dedicated to the truth.

Then one day, a wave of nostalgia came over me as I was thinking about Gracie, and I suddenly saw her in a Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys/Tom Swift kind of light: the sort of gutsy, intelligent, young adult amateur detective/adventurer who'd fit right in at the Stratemeyer Syndicate.
