Millie Ostermeyer is one of those lucky girls who seems to succeed in spite of herself. She's quite content to cruise through senior year in her Doc Martens and ironic tee shirts, before leaving her hometown of Honeywell to backpack around the world. Or maybe take a nap.

But when her father is accused of murdering her high school's despised football coach, Millie is forced to use her considerable, if underutilized, smarts to catch the real killer... who might just be the enigmatic guy she's reluctantly falling for.

Can Millie save her dad, unearth Chase Albright's secrets - and adopt the world's stinkiest orphaned dog - with the help of nothing more than a stack of old Nancy Drew books?
