Donna Parker, Special Agent

by Marcia Martin

Book 2 of the Donna Parker series

Donna Parker is drawn into an adventure that gives her the excitement of acting like a special agent rather than an ordinary teenager. A suspicious situation requires discretion, observation, and the ability to decide which adults or acquaintances can be trusted. Donna’s curiosity and sense of responsibility keep her involved even when the assignment becomes more serious than she expected. Marcia Martin’s second Donna Parker novel blends mid-century teenage life with light mystery and the wish-fulfillment appeal of a capable girl being entrusted with genuinely important work.
