Minerva Clarke is thirteen. She worries about having a Gigantor butt and being a Freak Show Loser. Or worse, if that's possible. She wants to be just a fraction as gorgeous as her cousin Jordan but has begun to accept that this may never happen, when events take a turn for the peculiar. Minerva is (accidentally) electrocuted by her brother and survives mostly unscathed, but for one strange side effect. She doesn't have hang ups. In fact, she can't remember what she even used to worry about. So when Minerva's perfect cousin Jordan is arrested under bizarre circumstances, the new, bold Minerva finds herself investigating a murky murder mystery.
