About the Book
Middle-graders Ricki Jones and her fellow-orphan-turned-adopted-brother Ross attend summer camp at the town library where Zatanna Zatara teaches the magical kids of the DC Universe as they investigate mysterious and strange events.Book Synopsis
When these tweens team up, nothing can stop them! Ricki Jones is your average middle-grader. Her fellow-orphan-turned-adopted-brother Ross is, too. The seven mystical monks training them to protect the Earth from dark supernatural forces are pretty standard adults--they want nothing more than a little peace over summer vacation and all their prior attempts to get the kids out of town led to the camps going out of business. So this year? Rikki and Ross are heading to the town library, where Zatanna Zatara took a camp counselor job she expects to regret. And Rikki's very normal. Everyone wants to investigate mysterious and strange events that could also mean the end of the world. Right? Everyone gathers a band of rogues and weirdoes to help. That's just how friendship works! It's fate (not like, Dr. Fate, just regular fate) that brings her together with Danny Cassidy, the Blue Devil. He's got ADHD and kinda fused with his Halloween costume, giving him demon powers. And Boston Brand, who died in a horrifying microfiche accident and roams the halls as Deadkid. And don't forget June Moon, who changes into an incredibly powerful sorceress named The Enchantress. But don't hold that against her, she's really very sweet when she's not causing trouble.About the Author
