Alayna Steele and the Secret of Silver Pointe

Alayna Steele has never met a coincidence she believed in.
Thirteen-year-old Alayna would rather be doing two things: nailing her pirouettes at Silver Pointe Dance Studio, and filling her battered "case book" with clues nobody else has noticed. When the studio's fiftieth anniversary approaches - bringing with it a priceless heirloom pin that hasn't been shown in public in fifty years - Alayna's used to spotting the small stuff. A missed cue. A too-quiet room. A grown-up who won't quite meet her eyes.
She's not used to sabotage.
When costumes are destroyed the night before a huge showcase, and the studio's legendary Silver Pointe pin vanishes from its case days later, Alayna and her friends launch an investigation that digs up far more than a thief. Buried in a hidden archive room is a fifty-year-old scandal: a talented young dancer, accused and erased, whose name nobody at the studio has spoken since.
With Regionals looming, a saboteur still on the loose, and a secret that reaches all the way back to the studio's founding, Alayna has to decide how far she's willing to go to get someone their name back - even if the truth was buried long before she was born.
Equal parts dance drama and detective story, Alayna Steele and the Secret of Silver Pointe is the first book in a mystery series about a girl who refuses to look away - from a stolen pin, an old injustice, or the people around her who need someone to finally notice them.
