Nothing ever happens here...

Pearl City. Three middle school students--Steve, Dave, and Derrick--renamed their town Peril City because they thought the only risk of being there was dying of boredom. Then in one week, the middle school principal's new secretary didn't come in, $100,000 was missing from the school's account, Pete the Pelican showed up on the doorstep and collapsed, Nic's Greek Diner caught fire after the big game--and then stuff really started happening in that little town.

Together, the boys decided to get to the bottom of this, and they became the mystery-solving team of Hill, Anderson, and Waggoner.
