THE FIXER
West Wing meets Veronica Mars in this young adult novel about a teenage girl who is shipped off to live with her older sister, Washington, D.C.'s most powerful "fixer."
Sixteen-year-old Tess Kendrick has spent her entire life on her grandfather's Montana ranch. Her older sister Ivy lives worlds away in the highest echelons of D.C. society, making other people's problems "go away" through a
combination of street smarts, blackmail, connections, and sheer force of will. When Ivy learns their grandfather is suffering from dementia, she does what she does best: She fixes the problem, bringing Tess to live with her in Washington.
Suddenly, Tess is thrown into a world that revolves around politics and power, with a sister she barely knows - and doesn't trust. Worse, when Tess comes to the aid of a girl crying in the restroom, she inadvertently sends out
the message to the Hardwicke student body that "Ivy Kendrick's sister" is open for business. Soon, people are coming to Tess for help, and she reluctantly settles into the role of high school fixer. Righting high school wrongs "feels" right. But when the two sisters' cases collide, Tess is drawn into a political conspiracy stretching from the walls of her high school all the way up to the Oval Office.
Sequel under contract with Bloomsbury for 2016 publication.
