Summary: "Three Chicago students, Melissa, Wilf, and Bondi, are unlikely participants in a competition for a ten thousand-dollar scholarship, unaware that there is much more at stake."--
Melissa is a nobody. Wilf is a slacker. Bondi is a show-off. To everyone's surprise, they are the three students chosen to compete for a ten thousand-dollar scholarship, solving clues that lead them to various locations around Chicago. At first they work independently, but each begins to wonder whether the competition is a sham. By secretly joining forces and their unique talents, the trio is able to uncover the truth behind the Ambrose Deception-- a truth that involves a lot more than just a scholarship.
