It's the classic girl detectives like you've never seen them before! Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley have a terrifying new mystery to solve - and this time, the culprit is far more frightening than any man in a mask...Popular Daphne Blake and ber-nerd Velma Dinkley are not friends. They aren't enemies either, but they don't have any reason to speak to each other, and that's how they prefer it. The two girls grew up together - they'd been best friends since pre-K - but when they hit middle school, Daphne dropped Velma and never looked back. These days, Daphne's deep in the popular crowd, daughter of the richest family in town, while Velma's an outsider, hiding from the world behind her thick glasses. When they run into each other in the halls of Crystal Cove High, they look the other way.But then Daphne's best friend, Marcy - who happens to be Velma's cousin - goes missing. A century ago, there was a wave of disappearances in Crystal Cove, and many local people believe that supernatural forces were behind it. Now the whole town believes those same forces are back . . . and up to no good. Daphne and Velma may be the only ones who can solve the mystery and save Marcy-if they can trust each other enough to try. Especially since the truth might be stranger-and scarier-than either girl can imagine . . .

4 ⭐ This is a first in a trilogy about Daphne and Velma from the Scooby gang. In this book they were friends but are now more… not enemies not quite Frenemies… at the beginning. They‘re both 16 and driving and when Daphne‘s friend Marcy goes missing she‘s going to need Velma‘s help to solve the case. We get glimpses of other members of the Scooby gang, but they are not big players in the story. The author started the series off where it can stand

LibrarianRyan alone for those who don‘t know, Scooby Doo, but enjoyed by those who have always been fans of Mystery Inc. This book is geared towards high school, but it would be appropriate for upper elementary and on. However, it‘s a bit hard to find. Book one can still be found in various places, book two can be attained through interlibrary loan, but book tree is only available as an e-book. Is that due to bad storytelling or lack of publishing… I think it 7mo
LibrarianRyan lack of publishing. If I hadn‘t tripped over this at Barnes & Noble, I would‘ve never known about it. And while it‘s not the best mystery in the world, it was still a fun ride that I thoroughly enjoyed. I‘m happy to see books in the world of Mystery Inc. catered toward older kids and younger adults and I look forward to reading the next two books.

LibrarianRyan I just learned this was a movie first. It doesn‘t look very good. 7mo

“I couldn‘t stop thinking about it though. The idea that I was some kind of stubborn fighter who didn‘t give up. That‘s who I wanted to be. “

“I‘m fighting for what I love.”

Do you love your hometown?
Or did you find a new place to call your own?
❤️
I live where I grew up and I love it. A little town surrounded by ocean and bay. I can taste the salt in the air. I am forever thankful for my home.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I like my hometown and lived there for 34 years, but 6 years ago I moved to a larger city about 25 minutes away that suits me better. My hometown was small and felt like it had only one road in & one road out. Traffic was bad leaving for work or shopping and many friends moved, too. My new city is closer to places I visit, with more routes and different places to see on my commutes, either by car or on foot. Living in the city center feels right. 4y
Moonprismpower @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick sounds like you found your home! And so close to things to do and to people. And your hometown will always be there for you to visit. 🙂 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 😊 I stil have a few ties to home. My town is missing salty bodies of water though! Being by the ocean and the bay sounds fantastic! 4y

“I know I know. If it‘s not natural for a teenager to like early mornings, it‘s significantly less natural for her to get excited about the library. And the Crystal Cove Library itself wasn‘t anything special, I guess, although I would argue every library is something special. “
