The Detective Girl, a book of poetry by Bill Tibbitts, tells the story of a special young girl enrolled at the Detective Girl Academy
SALT LAKE CITY (MMD Newswire) February 10, 2010 -- The Detective Girl by Bill Tibbitts is a collection of 97 rhyming sonnets about a young girl facing a jealous rival at a detective training school. When June Pao learned of her magical powers, she never expected to face uncontrollable jealousy. Enrolled at the Detective Girl Academy to hone her abilities, she soon discovered that her classmate Jennifer would stop at nothing to provoke her anger. Taunts, pranks and ambitious stunts soon followed, all with the intention of upsetting June and distracting her from her studies. Now it is up to June to confront Jennifer to put an end to the pranks before one of them goes dangerously awry. Featuring regular and irregular rhymes, the sonnets are intended to reveal a story structure similar to a comic book adventure with individual scenes and a sequential narrative "My goal was to write something that appealed to a broad range of people, from scholars with English degrees to my mother," explains Tibbitts. Throughout the book, June's special powers are employed to great effect, including "sudden wall climb," "extra super jump photographic mind," "so dynamic punch poison converting liver," "sensitive ear magic mind reader," and more. June received her special powers, which include instant reading comprehension and mind reading, from a defective flu vaccine. The Detective Girl is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
