Brit Axton is a 17-year-old who will not take no for an answer. She’s a tenacious amateur news reporter and sleuth who lives in a Phoenix suburb and volunteers at a clinic for kids with rare diseases. Book one of the Brit Axton series is A Golden Legacy. In this adventure, Brit’s grandmother tells her about a nearly forgotten promise from an eccentric friend decades earlier that includes the assurance of a treasure. At the same time she learns that the clinic will be closed in just 10 days due to funding problems.
Brit launches into a fast-paced western-states hunt to track down her grandmother’s “treasure” in time to save the clinic, and draws her family and friends into the whirlwind adventure, dodging greedy killers and natural dangers at every step.
