She wants to drive. But a shady driving instructor, a local gang, and a neighborhood crime spree could put the brakes on her plans!
V can’t wait to learn to drive. Though her mom’s cancer is in remission, she can’t convince her parents to find the time to teach her. Frustrated, she finds out about a new driver’s training course and doesn’t hesitate to sign up. But there’s something suspicious about the driving instructor, and a rash of break-ins puts her neighborhood on high alert.
As the burglaries escalate, a friend’s mom is the next victim. A family heirloom necklace is among the missing items. V tries to stay focused on learning to drive, but mysterious things keep happening that she can’t ignore. Before she knows it, she’s in the middle of a case she didn’t want, is about to lose the friends she worked hard to get back, and might never get to drive!
Will she get this case in gear, or will her investigation crash?
Bright Stars is the enthralling second book in the Chronicles of V teen detective mystery series. If you like gutsy teens, relatable problems, and plenty of twists and turns along the road, then you’ll love Tasche Laine’s page-turning adventure.
