When Bingo's best friend vanishes, the only literate person in a post-apocalyptic L.A. turns to her beloved, ancient books for inspiration, becoming the first detective in centuries. But to solve this mystery, Bingo must fight for her own life and uncover a conspiracy within this fragile civilization. Bingo Finder and every other teen in the sprawling farming village of Ellay know the tales of old days -- of how their great-great-great-grandparents rebuilt what was left of society after some apocalypse or whatever. But that's ancient history. Boring. Nah, for Bingo's generation, today is about staying busy -- distracted, even -- while tilling the reclaimed City of Industry fields or unloading barges at the seedy port of Bel Air. Or in Bingo's case, scavenging ruins for artifacts to upcycle and trade the bartering bazaars -- including Bingo's favorite leftovers, these old things called "books." Ever heard of 'em? Her favorites are the TECTIV books, the ones about men who walked rain-slicked streets at night in hats and trench coats. They searched for answers in a city called L.A., just like Bingo. It was their job. And after the mysterious disappearance of her best friend, Fenn, Bingo decides that's what she's gonna have to be if she wants to get answers-- a new kind of TECTIV for a new world. Because everyone may believe Fenn's disappearance was the first crime in a long time. But Bingo's about to learn that it wasn't. And it sure won't be the last...

In a cutthroat scientific competition, an oddball quartet--featuring an internet-famous teen heartthrob, a rebellious anarchist, a shy genius, and a small-town jack-of-all-trades--vie for victory while their clash of personalities and hidden agendas threatens to sabotage their chances to win, making them realize maybe victory isn't what they truly seek. In a bustling futurist metropolis, the Blamazon Teen Scientist Competition promises not just scientific glory, but fame and substantial financial rewards as well. Among the contestants, four teenagers from different backgrounds form an unlikely team: Tyler Risley, a teen heartthrob known for his genius-level intellect, Gabby, a grumpy nonbinary anarchist with a knack and distrust for science, Allegra, a shy and brilliant loner hiding her vast intelligence, and L.J., a small town jack-of-all-trades with an unparalleled knack for engineering. Amidst their bickering and missteps, they uncover the secret of teleportation. Despite this invention being a clear albeit dangerous way to win, it becomes apparent that perhaps victory isn't their only collective goal.

Life has only gotten more complicated since Sophie exposed a paranormal conspiracy deep within Miami. But between school, a news internship, and her upcoming Quinceñera, Soph must now balance a love triangle with Milo and Usnavy -- and help a disgraced celebrity find his late wife's "real killer." Sophie's existence has been... not terrible lately as she splits her days between school (where Soph remains a pariah) and her internship at WMIA 7 (where way too many media tips about paranormal activity in Miami turn out to be way too true). And in her rare free time, Sophie acts in Milo's latest student film. With such a whirlwind life, it's no surprise that everyone forgets Soph's 15th birthday. But Soph's parents intend to make up for this mistake by throwing her a Quinceñera. Meanwhile, a disgraced celebrity chef hears how Sophie's been proving her father's innocence and makes a desperate plea -- he wants Sophie to help him find the "real killer" who murdered his ex-wife. With the aid of some Alligatoids and a Mangrove Man, Soph hunts through the past... while someone else hunts her in the present. This whodunit culminates with crop circles, a dance-off, a cat-and-mouse chase through the colorful, yet treacherous, streets of the Wynwood district, where Sophie finds the "real killer" -- and discovers a startling new truth about herself... one which threatens to doom her once and for all.
