Calderhill Academy is one of Pittsburgh's most prestigious schools. Why then is there a murdered woman down in the basement?

I am the third person who's read the Max Curfew books! I think I still have them somewhere.

A retired spy schoolteacher reminds me of the old webcomic Rip and Teri (sample chapter).

This sounds interesting enough that I have checked it out on Hoopla. :D

I wonder Oyebanji has a specific Pittsburgh school in mind. Shadyside Academy, maybe?

I'm Scottish and the given name feels Scottish to me. Actually I live in walking distance of Calderside Academy, depending on how far you want to walk, a school maintained by the local municipality.

It seems to be quite easy to create fictional Scottish place names, such as Shieldinch (a suburb of Glasgow in "soap opera" "River City"), Craiglang ("Still Game"), Craigmillar (a real one, elsewhere), Hemphill (one of the creators of "Still Game"), and eponymous "Burnistoun". Although the Calder is a river, Calderside isn't really a place. The Calder, I finally got round to investigating, meets the Rotten Burn (brook), whose name I must be misinterpreting, and they become the Rotten Calder. Another that I wouldn't have made up.
