![]() Zoe doesn’t really fit in in the strictest sense, but winds up surprisingly civil with Sloane, finding a best friend in Digby, and enjoying her new town in spite of herself. Tromly uses Zoe’s escapades with Digby and the others – who all hail from different school cliques – to show readers that worrying about fitting into a social hierarchy isn’t the best way to make friends or have fun. Digby, well versed in the town’s goings-on and criminal system (thanks to a dark past of his own), leads a ragtag gang that includes dreamy football player (and Digby’s former best friend) Henry, Henry’s snobby girlfriend Sloane, and hipster-girl-in-the-making Bill. When the mysterious and smooth-talking Philip Digby takes an interest in Zoe, he begins toting her along on his adventures, investigating multiple kidnappings in the area, a suspicious cult “family,” and a corrupt (and creepy) local doctor. ![]() Former Los Angeles screenwriter Stephanie Tromly, now based in Winnipeg, marks her YA debut with an action-packed novel about teenager Zoe Webster, who finds herself downgraded from Manhattan living to a small town in upstate New York. ![]()
