Daphne and Velma: The Vanishing Girl by Josephine Ruby



Fans of Scooby-Doo will fall in love with this book. Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley used to be best friends, but at 10 years old they had a falling out and went their separate ways.  Now in high school Velma's family is struggling along.  Her dad is depressed, her mom is working the night shift at a theme park, and they are living in an apartment.  Daphne's parents are divorced.  Daphne lives with her dad in a nice house and is well off, but her dad has to go on a trip and so her estranged mom and stepdad along with her "new kids" are coming to stay.  Weird things start to happen at the "Haunted Village" where Velma's mom and she work.  Marcy saw a ghost, a week or so later she disappears. 

In true Mystery Inc. style the girls come back together to solve this mystery and find Marcy.  Told in alternating voices of Daphne and Velma the book keeps you coming back for more.  True sleuths will be able to pick up on the clues and know where the book is heading.
