In typical CC fashion, she may have bitten off more than she can chew. The first Backstage book introduced CC to the secret society and set for her a variety of difficult tasks, but in “Looking for Trouble” CC is invited to select her next task. She and her team do their best to keep civilization on track, but even with nearly unlimited resources that can be a dicey deal. “Looking for Trouble” continues the story of CC Law – a troubleshooter for the world. She will get to the bottom of Backstage come hell or high water. CC doesn’t know who is running Backstage, and she can’t even figure out where it is! CC doesn’t take that lying down though.
