Blue, who grew up traveling to many academic locations with her father, who was known for his aphorisms and unpredictable behavior, is witty, deadpan, and knowledgeable about a wide range of topics including science, literature, politics, and philosophy. She also enjoys watching movies. At the prestigious (and unique) St. Gallway School in Stockton, North Carolina, where she is a senior in high school, Blue befriends a compelling group of classmates and their teacher, Hannah Schneider. However, when a sudden murder of Hannah and the drowning of one of her friends create a web of mystery, Blue is forced to piece everything together using only her cultural references and gimlet-eyed intuition to help—or mislead—her.

A suspenseful thriller with a complex narrative and a darkly humorous coming-of-age story, Special Topics in Calamity Physics is written in the unique voice of its heroine, Blue van Meer.
