About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a comic book convention turned crime scene!
Welcome to Druid-Con!
Introducing Who’s There, the very first Druid-Con in Iowa, a convention with a comic book theme put together by the teens of The Cult of Nicoderm (a group of four local teens who may have gotten a bit too carried away with extracurricular activities). Merry Wrath, a former CIA agent turned suburban Girl Scout troop leader, can't believe she agreed to appear at the con dressed as a giant beetle. However, her spirits lift when she learns that Deliria, her favorite TV horror show host, will also be in attendance!
Meet Beetle Dork & Deliria...
The girls from Merry’s scout troop are all decked out in princess dresses, eagerly supporting eleven-year-old Ava's bid to become the youngest mayor in Who’s There’s history. Unfortunately, their plans are thwarted when they clash with a group of rival teen druids from the affluent Kennedy’s Landing. While trying to manage Betty, the mischievous troublemaker of the troop who is busy making fake VIP passes and spreading conspiracy theories, Merry misses a shocking murder!
...Before it’s too late!
When Stewie, the beloved but bumbling leader of the druids, is accused of the crime by a witness, and Betty's parents contemplate sending her off to boarding school in Texas due to her troublesome behavior, Merry realizes she must act swiftly to clear Stewie's name and bring her troop back under control before they lose their most fearsome (and fantastic) member.
