Grade A Stupid: Book 1 of the Darcy Walker Series (Darcy Walker Teenage Sleuth Thrillers)

"There were times I laughed...times I shuddered. A fantastic read!" ... PR Babe, Vine Reviewer A dead body in a dumpster. A teen turned detective. Can this underdog crack the case, or will she be the next victim? Fifteen-year-old Darcy Walker’s life is filled with three things: 1. Avoiding mean girls. 2. Drooling over football players. 3. Overdosing on caffeine. But when she discovers a dead body near Valley High, her OCD kicks into overdrive, and all she can think about is solving the murder. Teaming up with an out-of-shape jock and the school bad boy to unravel clues, Darcy soon realizes chasing the sins of a killer can come with a price. Danger spikes the deeper she digs, and when a stalker begins to shadow her every move—threatening her life if she doesn’t stand down—Darcy has a decision to make: concede defeat or go Mach-1 at the truth and pray she doesn’t die. GRADE A STUPID is the first novel in the action-packed Darcy Walker Teenage Sleuth Thrillers. If you like humorous dialogue, twisty plots, and ADHD heroines who are verbs in a world full of nouns, then you’ll love this novel where the underdog saves the day.
