June is rich and brilliant, the only candidate ever to get a perfect score in the Trials, and is destined for a glowing career in the military. As if that weren't complicated enough, Amy does see a ghost is he the Mad Monk?Ī gripping thriller in dystopic future Los Angeles.įifteen-year-olds June and Day live completely different lives in the glorious Republic.

Before their heated arguments can turn to something more, Amy and Ben had better solve the mystery of The Mad Monk of McCulloch Ranch, who's been conking people over the head. Amy first meets Ben while she's chasing escaped goats and wearing nothing but cherry-spotted undies and rubber boots: an introduction worthy of the best contemporary adult romance. Meanwhile, Amy spars with cranky young rancher Ben, whose land entirely surrounds Aunt Hyacinth's tiny farm. She protects her family of eccentrics, making sure that outsiders see Amy's sister Phin as a whiz with physics and chemistry, rather than a genius with the potions and spells of preternatural science.

Unlike the rest of the Goodnights-witches or psychics all-Amy intends to succeed in the mundane world. The summer after high school, Amy Goodnight is taking care of Aunt Hyacinth's herb farm. You can't get much more Nancy Drew than intrepid Texan heroines uncovering a mystery involving ranchers, Spanish ghosts, vandalized archaeological digs and lumps of gold.
