Solve mysterious disappearances and thefts, trace rumors, track down your best friend's stolen bike, and most importantly—get a date to the dance. Forge friendships, chase down thieves, or stick to your guns against bullies? Unmask them in public, or work behind the scenes to help a new friend? Will you protect the reputation of your clients, destroying evidence, or go so far as to hack your friend's cell phone to uncover his embarrassing secret? Investigate six mini-mysteries. Search for clues, question suspects, crack codes, dust for fingerprints, interview witnesses, and uncover your classmates' deepest secrets. Reveal the truth, or keep silent for the greater good… or greater profit. Shine in the classroom or cut school with the rebels. Lie to the adults--if you can get away with it Build friendships, create enemies, and find a date for the big dance. Play as a girl, boy, or neither.
