Don’t you love it when you are treated to a perfectly entertaining book? Rachel and David have collaborated again creating a funny, intelligent, engaging pair of teens who need something to do to survive a boring Christmas holiday. Lily’s brother and friend have helped her create a red notebook full of scavenger hunt clues that hopefully will keep her entertained during the holiday. Dash haunts the Powells-type bookstore (NYC's Strand Book Store...Powell's wins) and noticed the red notebook, successfully following its directions. Then he writes a few of his own. The game is afoot! And it is a huge success. But as these two come closer to meeting will they be disappointed with their true selves? Is there more to this relationship that white majorette boots?
