She’s back. For her 17th birthday, crack high school journalist/sleuth Adriana Hofstetter is taken to the magic castle, a mansion of magic, where she, BFF Billy, and mom Margaret delight in the feats of prestidigitation, from amazing card tricks, to solid rings that magically connect and disconnect seemingly at will, to birds that appear out of nowhere. It’s a world that’s baffling and bewildering, and which people of all ages flock to be fooled and confounded by mysterious illusions. And she thinks it would make a great story for her high school newspaper.

Gee is the story of a headstrong, willful, and most peculiar girl who navigates her way from the early years of the 20th century, through nine decades of living. It’s a life filled with the history of those decades, a life filled with wonder, sorrow, happiness, fate, unrequited love, and all the rest of it. She’s a girl with an indomitable spirit, humor, strength, and a unique perspective of the world and life. It is also the story of another young woman navigating her way through life in the early 21st century.
