The Red Blazer Girls: The Mistaken Masterpiece

Sophie, Margaret, Becca, and Leigh Ann are back in an all-new Red Blazer Girls caper.

Mayhem and mystery follows as the girls attempt to uncover the truth. Oh, and, uh, Sophie's friend-who-is-not-a-boyfriend, Raf, is back. . . . Here's another charming and engaging adventure starring these four every-girl sleuths that's perfect for readers 10-up. From the Hardcover edition.
