Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meddling Kids is a 2017 novel written by Edgar Cantero. An homage of Kid Detective works such as the The Hardy Boys, The Boxcar Children, Nancy Drew, The Famous Five and of course, Scooby-Doo, with a helping of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.In 1977, the Blyton Summer Detective Club, or the BSDC, was able to solve the mystery of the Sleepy Lake Monster, who turned out to be another greedy thief who was trying to scare people off so he could find the much rumored treasure of Deboen Mansion. And he would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!Thirteen years later, he's out on parole and is confronted by one of the former members of the BSDC, Andrea "Andy" Rodriguez (a former soldier who was dishonorably discharged and is now a fugitive), who demands to know why he falsely confessed, because she vaguely remembers a few things that don't add up to the official version of that night - and what little she remembers haunts her. Andy then looks for her former teammates, who are also not doing too well: Kerri Hollis, a Teen Genius, got kicked out of grad school and is now a bartender with a drinking problem; Nate, the youngest of the group, is at a mental hospital and is talking with the former leader Peter Manning, who died some time ago. The remaining members decide that they have to return to their old territory of Blyton and figure out what really happened.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Of course, the truth is much stranger, with fish people, a possible immortal pirate and an ancient god...

20 Minutes into the Past
 Meddling Kids / int_c49935fa
comment
20 Minutes into the Past: The book is set in the year 1990, although the Lemony Narrator makes plenty of anachronistic references. The events of the backstory with the Blyton Summer Detective Club's last case took place thirteen years prior in 1977. (This makes the "past" of the setting coincide with the Scooby-Doo franchise's heyday and the "present" coincide with Edgar Cordero's own childhood.)

Action Girl: Andy and Kerri are more than capable of kicking ass. Andy even goes toe-to-toe with the Big Bad in the climax.
