Curse of the Lion's Heart

Alexandra Fry, Private Eye seriesbook 2Next:Alexandra Fry, Private Eye: Tutankhamun's Gift(2014) →

Alexandra Fry is just your average seventh-grader. Or is she? Starting a new school, Alexandra hopes to leave her old life, and old reputation of "Loopy Lexi" behind. But it's not so easy when Alexandra is the kind of girl who sees ghosts. And not just any ghosts, but history's most famous. They come to her to solve mysteries, when things from their past life fall into the wrong hands. Desperate to be normal and make some friends, Alexandra is devastated to be visited by none other than Queen Elizabeth the First during a lesson in school. But Queen Elizabeth doesn't just have your average, run of the mill problem. The thing that was stolen was a locket - a cursed locket, and if it's not returned to the museum, the entire world will be in danger. It's up to Alexandra and her new friends Penelope and Jack, to find out who took the locket and why. Ducking security guards, breaking and entering, and finding out someone isn't who they said they were is just your average day for this seventh grade girl.
