Title: A Bad Day for Sunshine
Author: Darynda Jones
Genre: Mystery
Sunshine Vicram and her daughter Aurora (Auri) Vicram have just moved back to Del Sol, New Mexico, where Sunshine has been elected Sheriff (thanks to her parents entering her in the running – without her knowledge!) When a classmate of Auri’s goes missing, both Sunshine and (unofficially) Auri are on the case. Sybil St. Aubin is a shy, sweet girl who had a premonition that she would be abducted before her 15th birthday, and after reading her diary, Sunshine is convinced that Sybil’s disappearance is not a hoax. While Sunshine and her team rush to locate Sybil and reveal the identity of her kidnapper, Auri helps to investigate by questioning classmates and unearthing clues at the high school. When a secret about Sunshine’s past comes to light, Sunshine and Auri must deal with the fallout on top of everything else going on; old flames, new crushes, school bullies, secret liaisons, and the quirky residents of Del Sol.
