Ninth Grade's crazy, it's supposed to be; everybody's just getting their act together. But Vanessa's new friend is more like a best girlfriend than a boy. They're both smart, and when they see people playing assassination at the mall and passing enciphered messages in bus stop caches, of course they try to break the codes! But there's a real mystery here: Who's stalking them from the shadows? How do they know so many intimate details of their lives? Will the principal make good on his threat to expel them? Are they just in trouble, or mortal danger? Ness races to solve the mystery and save her best friend. The first in the "My Friend Chloe" stories, Bus Stop Dead Drop serves up suspense, romance, mystery, secret codes, cover stories, and answers the age-old question, "Can a transsexual win the Science Fair?"
