Goldie Vance Vol. 1 (Goldie Vance, #1)

by Hope Larson

Sixteen-year-old Marigold "Goldie" Vance lives at a Florida resort with her dad, who manages the place. Her mom, who divorced her dad years ago, works as a live mermaid at a club downtown. Goldie has an insatiable curiosity, which explains her dream to one day become the hotel's in-house detective. When Charles, the current detective, encounters a case he can't crack, he agrees to mentor Goldie in exchange for her help solving the mystery. Eisner Award-winning writer Hope Larson (A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel) and artist Brittney Williams (Patsy Walker, A.K.A Hellcat!) present the newest gal sleuth on the block with Goldie Vance, an exciting, whodunnit adventure.

HELL YES!!! This was SUPER adorable and fun and bright and funny and cute and a good mystery that's not immediately obvious.

I NEED more Goldie Vance in my life. The black lesbian Nancy Drew working at a hotel with her Dad while her Mom is a mermaid. Her best friend is training to be an astronaut. This is fucking brilliant.

Diane and the racing punk Skunk are like woah. 💙💙

Too bad Sugar hates Goldie so much, but someone's gotta be the bad guy, and a rich white girl with family issues makes sense.
