Or nearly all—she’s only twenty. But she’s got connections. Her mother is Tina Valentina, the original Girl Reporter, who never lets anything get between her and a story, and her best friend is a superhero keeping it on the down-low, trusting her with his secrets. Fry knows her big break is coming—she just needs to hang in there. When Tina is kidnapped, the superhero brains trust picks Fry to join the rescue mission. It’s an inside scoop, the chance to get to know all the Aussie 'soops' up close and personal—really personal, including her crush, that walking slice of sunshine herself, Solar. Too bad they don't want Fry blowing their cover—what’s a young Girl Reporter in love to do? Join Fry on an interdimensional rescue mission complete with spandex, plenty of action, and a spaceship called 'Audrey'. Oh, and choc-chip cookies, of course. less
