The Halverson Snow

A locked room. A missing girl. A storm that won't let anyone leave.

The Ashgrove Academy debate team came to the Halverson School for a weekend tournament in the Connecticut hills. Then the snow closed the roads.

On Friday night, debate secretary Iris Calloway slips junior Maya Reyes a note: Study Room 3. 10 p.m. Alone. When Maya gets there, the door is bolted from the inside. When it's finally forced open, Iris is gone. The window is frozen shut. The snow on the ledge hasn't been touched.

The dean says Iris was under strain and walked out into the storm. But Maya was standing at that door, and what she saw doesn't match what the adults say happened. Then she finds a message Iris left for her alone.

With the phones dead, the power failing and the mountain buried in snow, Maya, her roommate Priya and the watchful Theo have until the storm breaks to find Iris, before someone else does. And everyone at Halverson whispers about the Almanac, a secret that decides who gets ahead.
