Jolie and Scoobie High School Misadventures

by Elaine L. Orr

Overview

Jolie Gentil is angry when her parents leave her at the Jersey shore with Aunt Madge for her junior year so they can "work things out" in their marriage. She knows no one at Ocean Alley High School. Some kids snub her, but she makes friends with the irreverent Scoobie. He's quirky and fun, but he's skipped school and smoked pot in the past, so people avoid him. Jolie learns how to shoot a squirt gun from under the boardwalk and tries not to flunk geometry. She also learns that the family she babysits for has a secret, one that puts Jolie in danger. You've met Jolie and Scoobie as crime-solving adults. Check out their high school friendship. Same humor, different challenges. Plus a couple of hints about why Jolie wants to get to the bottom of murders when she's all grown up.
