"This third outing finds Tromly at the top of her game, seamlessly
weaving in high-school scandal, government espionage, a hilarious
mix of high- and low-culture references, and social-media sabotage
in a turbocharged plot...If this is the last tango with Digby, at
least we get to go out on a high note."--Booklist Online "A fast
read, with continuous action and nonstop witty banter."--VOYA
Praise for Trouble Is a Friend of Mine
- Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year "In what reads like a
combination of Veronica Mars and The Breakfast Club, debut author
Tromly creates a screwball mystery with powerful crossover
appeal."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "This is one of those
rare books that promises something unique and actually delivers
beyond expectation. At least one copy belongs in every young adult
collection--maybe even two or three."--VOYA, starred review
"Fast-talking, suit-wearing Digby is an exasperating teenage
Sherlock--sharply observant, impatient with social niceties, and
unafraid of authority figures. . . . Fans of Veronica Mars and
Elementary will find much to like here . . . Zoe's sarcastic
first-person narration is fresh and funny . . . an offbeat and
entertaining caper."--Kirkus "An engrossing and satisfying read . .
. Hand this one out along with a Chandler or Hammett classic and
the first season of Veronica Mars."--BCCB, starred review "A
fast-paced story. . . . Readers will find a sharply drawn character
in the irrepressible Zoe, who's as dubious about Digby's methods as
she is curious about whether or not she can live up to his
daredevilry."--SLJ "With acerbic banter and a healthy dose of
high-school high jinks, screenwriter Tromly weaves together
traditional elements of teen stories to create a Breakfast Club for
a new century."--Booklist Praise for Trouble Makes a Comeback
"The author bounces her characters off one another in spectacular
ways, crafting drama, suspense, love, and exasperation with ease. .
. . Readers will surely want to join Digby and Zoe for another
round."--Kirkus "Tromly excels at oddball character chemistry as
well as crackling dialogue. . . . This zany sequel has everything
to make fans of the first outing swoon."--Booklist Online
