Description

Paranormal mystery meets conspiracy thriller in this action-packed comic for young adults starring Sophie Cooper, a brilliant student-intern-turned-sci-fi-sleuth out to clear her familys name.

Meet fourteen-year-old Sophie Cooperred-headed Cuban-American, high school freshman, and daughter of a loving father currently under house arrest for embezzlement and money laundering. While her mother struggles to support the family and her bratty younger brother, Kit, sits around tinkering with his inventions, Sophie has only one goal: clearing her fathers name.

When an internship opens up at the local news station, Sophie seizes the chance to do a little investigating of her own. Unfortunately, WMIA 7 isnt exactly CNN. In between logging Betacam tapes and fetching coffee for the stations washed-up reporting team, Sophie sifts through the broken stories: crank-calls and dead-end tips reporting everything from UFOs to alligator-men. However, one name keeps popping up: Matheson Savings and Trust, the bank that accused Sophies father of money laundering. Sounds like a conspiracy to this cub reporter!

Determined to follow her lead, Sophie sets out to investigate the weirdness, uncover a conspiracy, and clear her familys name . . . just as soon as she finishes her homework.
