The Charmed Life

Can an uptown teen solve a murder mystery in down-home Oklahoma?

Bella Kirkwood loves her glam life in New York City. But her faith is tested when her mom falls for a blue-collar farmer and relocates them both to rural Oklahoma. After her brutally honest blog rant goes viral, the former trendsetter turns into a social reject.

Prom season can be a total killer.

Just when I’d adjusted to my new norm, trading in my beloved Manhattan for the heartland, life totally clotheslines me again when my stepdad Jake gets cast in a wrestling reality show. Suddenly cameras are following my every move like I’m a Hollywood starlet. Can’t a girl just get some privacy and five minutes away from all that spotlight and spandex?

Breakups are murder.

Newly single, stalked by a killer, and in desperate need of an after-school job that doesn’t involve clown shoes, I’m one skinny mocha away from packing it up and moving back to Manhattan. When my gig on the Truman High Tribune sends me to the newly-arrived Fritz Family Carnival, I’m all about some funnel cakes and acrobatics. But when I find one of the crew murdered, it’s time to put on my rainbow wig and go undercover. Circus life, here I come.
