So when she and her sorta-rival-turned-almost-friend Greg stumble across the body of a scientist, the elves are the prime suspects. With help from Greg, her best friend Hannah, and the sneaky, winking spy Ryon, Lailu has to discover the truth behind the murder, and soon--because hostilities between the elves and the scientists are about to boil over faster than hydra stew. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd just ask any chef: war is bad for business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heidi Lang, Kati Bartkowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148147796X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481477963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aladdin Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e500016 \/ Hint of Hydra\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Heidi Lang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994237108479,"sku":"9781481477963","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55feba21-962c-4eeb-98fb-6787a5315153.jpg?v=1683328943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-hint-of-hydra-heidi-lang-9781481477963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
