Eleanor Jones is Not Drowning




A new installment in the award-winning and bestselling series about teen detective Eleanor Jones is here . . .

Eleanor Jones is over the rain. The drought has finally broken, and the Cooinda River is rising – fast.

When fellow student Letisha Sabri asks her to prove her boyfriend’s death was not an accident or suicide, but rather murder, Eleanor is thrown back into detective mode. The more Eleanor investigates – which she fits in around school, spending time with Troy and planning for the upcoming Deb Ball – the more it seems like Letisha might be right.

As the riverbank starts to spill over and reveal its secrets, it becomes increasingly difficult for Eleanor to keep her head above water.
