Trouble Makes a Comeback

After Zoe Webster's friend Philip Digby--the weird, manic and brilliant teen sleuth Digby--left town, Zoe experimented with being a "normal" high schooler--but now Digby is back needing help, and not just to find his sister.

Lynn Braden

Digby is back, and Zoe's life that has turned into the "normal" one that she was hoping for a year ago, is about to be disrupted again. Zoe has been dating backup quarterback, Austin and studying hard for the upcoming SAT which holds her key for getting into Princeton. She even has friends. Digby's reappearance ignites a series of events that leads to a steriod scandal at Zoe's school and more details about his missing sister, Sally. 

This is another funny, inventive story about Zoe and her on again off again relationship with the troublesome, Digby. Though not quite as good as the first book in the series, it still delivers humor, suspense, and intrigue as the characters' lives grow and change. I'm looking forward to a third book in this fun, fast-paced series.

'A funny, realistic teen crime caper. This book sings.' Jesse Andrews, author of ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL (praise for TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE) A brilliantly funny romantic comedy - with infectious characters, wry humour, and breakneck dialogue, this sequel to Trouble is a Friend of Mine is perfect for fans of John Green, Jesse Andrews and Ally Carter. After a fall semester of fiascos: getting arrested, then kidnapped, then blown up in an explosion (all thanks to the weird, but brilliant Philip Digby), Zoe Webster is looking forward to a quiet spring. Now that Digby has left town, she's finally built a regular high school life for herself. She's dating Miles; she knows girls she considers friends; she's learning to enjoy being normal and semi-popular. Which of course is when Digby comes back: He's got a new lead on his missing sister and he needs Zoe's help. Suddenly Zoe is tussling with a billionaire archvillain, locking horns with armed goons, and digging into what makes the Digby family tick, even as she tries to navigate the confusing and emotionally fraught world of high school politics and locker-room drama. After all, it's hard to explain Digby to a boy like Miles, especially when Zoe isn't sure how she feels about Digby herself - or how he feels about her. Now that Digby's back, get ready for another hilarious whodunit filled with razorsharp dialogue, ridiculously funny action, and the most charismatic, dynamic duo you've ever met. And just try to stay out of trouble. We dare you.
