V Is for Victorine

In this exciting sequel to Daring Darleen, Queen of the Screen, a young heiress in hiding and her film star best friend go on a quick-paced caper through early Hollywood. STOLEN ARTIFACTS! DARING HEROINES! THRILLING ADVENTURES! It’s 1915, and Victorine Berryman (now reluctantly in disguise) is struggling to figure out who she most truly is: An orphaned heiress to one of the country’s largest fortunes? An extra in other people’s films? Or does she perhaps want to be a different sort of person entirely? When an ominous advertisement appears, offering a big reward for information leading to the “lost” Miss Berryman, Victorine decides it’s time to leave the old film town of Fort Lee with her best friend, photoplay star Darleen Darling, and look for work in Hollywood, California. Soon the girls find themselves mixed up in adventures as wild as anything in the “movies”—but with stakes that are much too real! This edge-of-your-seat follow-up to Daring Darleen, Queen of the Screen will have fans old and new rooting for the brave and resourceful “Vee” as she thwarts villains, tells the truth whenever possible, and discovers how to be herself in a world of actors, sets, and stories.
