Juji - Teen Investigator

JUJI is a shy but gifted fourteen-year-old high school senior who has the habit of solving crimes and settling disagreements using just her state of the art phone. Despite her history of straight A’s and a bright future, Juji tends to keep to herself. Juji’s parents, who both worked as detectives, died when she was young. Juji is now being raised by her grandparents, who don't understand Juji's drive for justice. The story begins with Juji on her daily ride to school. Using proper helmet and padding, she is run off the road by a wild driver in an unusual car. After a chase, photos, and video, Juji returns to school and begins research to get additional information on the car and driver. A new friend at school, BROOKE, reaches out to help Juji fit in better. Juji is appreciative of her efforts but is busy with her investigation. Brooke sets Juji up on her first date with an older high school junior, SEAN, to the big “Fall Formal” dance. After Juji takes an important test, she continues uncovering details and pictures of the car and driver and possible exchange of an illegal substance. Juji finally confronts the driver in his place of business and learns he has an explanation for every accusation. When she returns to school, she finds out she did not ace her exam but received the lowest grade of her career. The principal of the school and several teachers are annoyed with Juji’s continual oversight of school activities and are happy to see her first low test score. Disheartened, Juji leaves school early and lies in bed watching shallow TV programming. Grandpa finally convinces Juji of the importance of her commitment. Reluctantly, Juji dresses up for her double date, with plans of starting a new investigation of the bad grade. Brooke pays for the ride, the dinner, and prime tickets for the school dance. Juji is thankful but continues investigating around the school with Sean. After being cornered in the bathroom, Juji and Sean escape a search by the school faculty. Juji spends her Sunday examining evidence, photos, and online information to document every piece of the puzzle. On Monday morning, Juji confronts the principal, teachers, and students. She explains the crimes to the police and reveals evidence she has uncovered.
