Footprints

Moving into a nice house in a newly developed suburban neighborhood sounds nice, but when Hazel and her mom move into her mom's new boyfriend's townhome, Hazel is devastated. The last thing she wanted to do was leave their big house out in the country, one of her only reminders of her dad. But when he died and left them without a way to earn money, things went downhill fast.

Hazel's awkward, introverted personality is a stark contrast to her new friends in Hedgefair, Iowa, a small, newly developed, neighborhood at the edge of the Des Moines. Zoey and Connor are both outgoing and social, with striking, single family homes they live in with their parents. However, when a set of strange footprints starts appearing on both of their properties, Hazel is suddenly thrust into the middle of a mystery crazier than she ever thought a summer in the suburbs could be.

When the trio discovers a plot to kidnap one of them for ransom, they make sure to find
everything they can about the mysterious kidnapper leaving footprints around the neighborhood. But waking up in a field in the middle of nowhere with no knowledge of how they got there or who brought them there was not part of the plan. The friends are forced to find out as much as they can about what's going on without ever even knowing where they are or when they got there, which proves a challenge for even all three of them.
