Scoop Vol. 4 [Paperback]

Fake news, real danger! The exciting conclusion to the Scoop series, featuring your favorite paranormal kid journalist, along with intergalactic and supernatural hijinx!

Sophie Cooper has overcome a lot in the last couple of years, all in the hopes of convincing the world that her dad is not a criminal. She’s solved some murders, outwitted a time-traveling mad scientist, gained psychic powers (only to give ‘em right back), raised a flying saucer from the Everglades -- even while celebrating her Quinceñera, surviving high school, navigating a love triangle, and interning for the local TV news station, WMIA 7. But now Sophie faces off against the deadliest threat yet…herself! When a sinister Sophie doppelgänger appears on the scene, spouting fake news and debunking all that the real Sophie has worked so hard to achieve, our intrepid teen reporter must face facts. Will she ever prove her father’s innocence? Would anyone believe her anyway? Or have Sophie’s investigations only put a giant target on her family, her friends, and that which she values above all else -- the truth?RICHARD ASHLEY HAMILTON is an award-winning Cuban-American (no, really) writer and creative consultant best known for his storytelling across many DreamWorks Animation franchises includingHow To Train Your Dragonand Guillermo Del Toro’sTrollhunters.
