Meet Septina Nash.  I bet you have never met anyone like her.  She is the 7th child of a 7th child which makes her rather special.  She also has purple hair.  Now that is what you would probably notice if she were in you class!  And now Septina has something very special to do.  She is helping the police find her sister!  Yes, her sister Sexta, has gone missing.  Has she run away or has something sinister happened to her?  Through it all, we meet many unusual characters from Septima's mother -- the famous skateboarder who makes a living selling lottery tickets -- to the dreaded Dr. Fignizzi, Septina's mortal enemy.  Where is Sexta?  And who are the Penguins of Doom?
