Teenager Adriana Hofstetter is quite possibly one of a kind. She
hates all things "now"-including MySpace, cell phones, and anything
trendy-and she has no use for partying, getting wasted or being
stupid. She dresses in clothes from her favorite decades-the 40s,
50s, 60s, and 70s-much to the derision of her fellow students at
Hollywood High, who think she is a joke. She's on her way to
becoming the star of her journalism class. Her teachers adore her,
just as much as her fellow students abhor her. She has one loyal
and true friend, Billy Feldman, who is as much of an outsider as
she is. She has a mother who listens to Pink Floyd, Cream, and
Isaac Hayes at ear splitting levels, a peculiar cat named Furball,
and an ancient, ineffectual computer that crashes if she happens to
glance in its direction. Then, one day, someone from Hollywood High
is found murdered. A suspect is arrested and charged. And Adriana
Hofstetter finds herself forced to become a pint-sized amateur
sleuth, who, in the guise of doing a story for the school
newspaper, must put all her journalism lessons to use in order to
solve a murder she knows the accused didn't commit. Murder at
Hollywood High is a very funny, suspenseful mystery, replete with
colorful Los Angeles locales, disbelieving detectives, suspects
lurking around every locker, and a fifteen-year-old heroine who is
off-the-wall, endearing and not to be messed with.
