Description
"Jett is no frozen victim: she's a fighter, a detective, and when it counts the most, a trailblazer..." -J.R. Potter, award-winning teen mystery author of Thomas Creeper and the Gloomsbury Secret
All Jett Jamison wants is a little peace and quiet.
What could be worse than living in a tiny house in the tiny town of Wisteria with twin brothers who believe they're superheroes? Answer: the voices in Jett's head. They buzz with bits of a bad memory, and they're getting louder every day. A friend recommends a book sure to unscramble her confusion, but it's disappeared, and nobody wants to talk about it. Enraged, Jett and her friends rally up a team to fight the censorship, even enlisting her clever pet bunny, Felix, one-eared Grey Cat, and the ghosts of a few authors known for shaking things up.
They plan a peaceful protest, but it backfires big time, and the town goes berserk. Now Jett realizes that peace isn't always quiet, and she'll need to heal herself before she can restore calm to Wisteria.
