Cherie Glasston is a rising TV star and a close family friend of Danton Cord, the most popular boy at MacGuffin Elementary. She asks for his help in tracking down her long lost mother before Cherie leaves the town for good. Naturally, Danton enlists the help of “Private Iris” Able, the most secretive but smartest kid in town. But when Cherie’s mom turns out to be someone in dangerous trouble, Iris and Danton find out there’s more to this case than simply finding a missing person. And why is Iris so eager to help Danton out with this particular case? Could it have something to do with a mystery regarding her own mother?
