Description

Thirteen-year-old sleuth Skylar Robbins is about to take on her most dangerous case yet. The challenge: braving a savage enemy while solving the mystery of a strangely frightening idol.  

Skylar's new high-tech detective gadgets give her intelligence an extra edge. A canister of Invisi-powder is vital when she and her assistant detective, Alexa, suddenly need to disappear. Earbuds and a small high-powered microphone make up a Soundtrap: perfect for eavesdropping on her crush while he plays My Secret Kiss, or on the boys in the next hut while they devise a terribly risky plan. Her Supalight, visible from half a mile away, enables Skylar's crew to message her during a midnight attack. Night vision goggles might save her life when she's chased through a dark jungle with her brilliant partner, Daniel Gannon.

Fierce island natives will stop at nothing to prevent the teens from discovering the true meaning of the idols. Will Skylar's team survive to return to middle school? Or will this field trip be their last adventure?

Skylar Robbins mysteries have won multiple awards, and more than one have been Amazon #1 Bestsellers in Children's Detective Books. Accolades include being voted Book-of-the-Month by LASR readers, three 5-star Reader's Favorite awards, and one was a Top Ten Finalist for an Author Academy Award in the YA/Middle Grade category.
