Is the sweet town of Appleton ripe for scandal?

Consider the facts:

Appleton Elementary School has a new librarian named Rita B. Danjerous. (Say it fast.)

Principal Noah Memree barely remembers hiring her.

Ten-year-old Reid Durr is staying up way too late reading a book from Ms. Danjerous’s controversial ‘green dot’ collection.

The new school board president has mandated a student dress code that includes white gloves and bow ties available only at her shop.

Sound strange? Fret not. Appleton’s fifth-grade sleuths are following the money, embracing the punny, and determined to the get to the funniest, most rotten core of their town’s juiciest scandal.
