Claire's Great Adventure

By: Charles Hugh Smith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Sixteen-year old Claire, overprotected her entire life by a hardworking worry-wart Mom, must now find the father she never knew in Paris, France, and soon, or she'll never have the chance: he'll be dead. What starts out as a simple summer visit to Paris with her best friend Camden and their guardian, Claire’s spinster aunt May, quickly splinters into multiple mysteries: where is her father? What did he do to make such tenacious enemies? The silver ring he sent her—can it really protect her? What do the ring’s Chinese characters mean? Claire and her plucky friend Camden are soon up to their eyebrows in predicaments no one could possibly predict, each one more impossible to escape than the last. With the aid of a peculiarly skillful friend they make along the way, Claire and Camden end up fighting for their lives—and for Claire’s wayward father’s freedom—in a shadowy Shanghai and an underground Paris few ever see—or would want to see.
