    About this ebook

    Who says you can never go home again? Go back to high school with Abby and Jesse, back to a simpler time, back to where it all began… before that fateful day on that icy mountain road that would change them both forever.

    It’s almost Thanksgiving and the biggest soccer game of Abby Craig’s life is just days away. But before she can focus on scoring goals, she has to help Jesse solve a mystery that’s been haunting the school’s basketball team for the last fifty years. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Conner is proving to be a whole different kind of distraction. Will Abby be able to juggle it all or will her junior year end up being a real turkey?

    This heartwarming story is the prequel to FORTY-FOUR, which has been downloaded by more than half a million readers.

      How Embarrassing

      Dec 9, 2019

      I had my cousin’s one-year-old kid sit on my lap at a family get-together over Christmas and hadn’t noticed she’d undone the straps on my super cute tie-up dress as I was talking away. When I stood up, my dress just fell to the floor and I flashed my

      chapter ONE

      So, does this make you Thelma? I whispered.

      No, Craigers. It’s obvious that I’m Fred.

      Are you sure? I mean, sure you’re tall and kind of our fearless leader, but I think deep down you’re more like a Thelma. Isn’t she the one who ends up solving most of the mysteries anyway?

      Okay, whatever, he said. "And by the way, it’s Velma, with a V."

      Jesse had invited me along on this stakeout, as he called it, and because he was my best friend I had said yes. So here we were, hiding under the bleachers in the dark gym at nine o’clock on a Monday night, trying to solve some silly mystery.

      Okay, he said. So if I’m Velma, who are you?

      Duh. Daphne, of course.

      He chuckled for a little too long and I punched him in the arm.

      Like I said, he said. Whatever.

      "So, tell me again why we’re here reenacting an old Scooby-Doo episode."

      Jesse said there had been some weirdness going on at the basketball gym, but he hadn’t supplied me with too many specifics, just that it had something to do with a ghost.

      It started about two weeks ago, he said. Coach Mickelson told us that someone had sneaked into the gym the night before and left all the basketballs out on the floor and the radio on in his office.

      Nothing broken or stolen?

      No, nothing like that.

      So then what’s the big deal? I said,
