In "Oil on Troubled Waters," Archie finds himself caught in a web of curiosity when Mr. Lodge shares a mysterious business opportunity with him—offered by a visiting oil man. But as Archie notices the whole town acting strangely, he starts to wonder who’s really in on the secret, and why everyone seems to know more than he does.
Archie’s meticulous mind goes into overdrive as he spends two weeks plotting the perfect escape from study hall—down to the last second—to snag a soda across the street. With precision and nerves of steel, he prepares for a mission that’s equal parts prank and rebellion.
