Brenda Bly the Teen Detective
Lovingly described as SCOOBY DOO meets GREASE meets LITTLE SHOP HORRORS this is a high paced hilarious send up of teen detective novels.
It's 1958 - a time of rock and roll, space discovery, and great hope for a bright future. But trouble is brewing at the Whitney Ellis Private School For Girls. Only days away from the opening night of the end of term musical, 'Rocket Girl', the leading lady is knocked unconscious with a sandbag. Once again, it is up to our favorite teenage sleuth, Brenda Bly, to solve the crime, catch the crook and save the day.
