Totally Confidential
A secret job as a professional listener!
Quinney Todd is the most sensible kid in her upstate New York town, she figures. Why not make it pay? And so she takes out an ad in the local Save-a-Cent and starts her own little business-and it's all totally confidential... only things aren't working out the way she thought they would.
For one thing, people seem to want more than a mere listener. And what's she supposed to do about Cree, the boy she's secretly nuts about-who happens also to be her newest listening customer. Not to mention her best friends Brynn and Marguerite, who haven't a clue as to what Quinney's been doing all summer. No, they're too busy fighting...
"I actually saw an ad much like the one Quinney places in our local paper," Sally Warner reveals, referring to the small Adirondacks town where she usually spends a couple of months each year, "and I think a girl like Quinney must have been the one to place it. It reminded me of something I might have done at her age-if I'd had the nerve! So this book was especially fun to write."
