Clues Quote by Derek Landy
““What does a clue look like?" Tanith whispered. Stephanie fought the giggle down and whispered back. "I'm looking for a footprint or something." "Have you found one yet?" "No. But that's probably because I haven't moved from this spot." "Maybe we should move, pretend we know what we're doing." They started to walk, very slowly, still looking straight down.””
