Charlotte Illes is not a detective

When she was in middle school, Charlotte Illes' uncanny detective abilities actually made her a minor celebrity in her town, but that was before she graduated high school and no longer accepted calls on her little blue phone in her garage-office. Now twenty-five, she feels stuck, having no romantic or professional prospects to speak of--and her old blue phone has started ringing again. Solving a case as an adult, though, is far different than her cases as a kid: for one, there were no dead bodies or missing persons back then. Also, the villains now see her as a threat, and could set their sights on her next.

Nancy takes the case

On a snowy day, Nancy and her friends are stuck playing inside-but the plot thickens when Lionel's comic goes missing! Don't worry, Detective Nancy is on the case.
