November Adley is a 17-year-old Italian-American girl born in August. Although she lost her mother at six to an accident, November lives a content life in Connecticut, the U.S. She has a strong bond with her father and her Aunt Jo. But everything changes when her father suddenly sends her away to a boarding school. And no ordinary boarding school either. Academy Absconditi is a covert school where students are trained to become assassins, spies and impersonators. They are taught the art of poisoning, knife-throwing, deception and history. History is taught so that the students can use it to twist the future to their convenience. A bewildered November, who is new to all this, wants to know who her father exactly is. In the meantime, she makes friends with her roommate Layla and her brother Ash. The sudden and unexplained death of a fellow student, however, prompts November to investigate and uncover the truth about not just the victim but also her own connection to him. Will she be the next victim?

Eleven-year-old Friday Barnes is the youngest (almost self-raised and self-educated) child in a family of Physics professors. Friday, who has mastered the art of going unnoticed, manages to get away with plenty. Such as eating vast quantities of chocolate and reading detective novels. Having devoured every detective novel in her parents’ library, Friday can claim to be an excellent detective herself. This is proved when she wins a $50,000 prize for recovering a stolen diamond. Friday decides to use the money to enrol herself in the best boarding school in the country. Needless to mention, Friday’s detective skills are handly in the new place. Her fellow boarders, who come from wealthy families, are more than willing to part with huge sums of money if Sleuth Friday recovers a missing clock, missing homework, even a supposed lurking Yeti! The money Friday makes by solving these mysteries is enough to pay the tuition fees for the coming year. Added incentives include her budding friendship with Ian Wainscott, the smartest boy in school (now second only to Friday Barnes), late night swamp outings and searching for clues in unlikely places.
