Imagine needing to solve a mystery while juggling a mountain of schoolwork—not fun (but maybe more fun than homework?). Nick Brooks’ “Promise Boys” follows three teens of color who investigate their principal’s murder to clear their names. Karen M. McManus' “One of Us Is Back” follows the Bayview Crew who must investigate the sudden disappearance of a crew member.
