The Correspondent: Origins

Ellie Seymour is seventeen, five feet tall, and working at her parents' hardware store when she discovers that her ex-boyfriend's Halloween mask is an encrypted access key to Acme Hero Equip, Inc. — a company that sells real costumes, real gadgets, and a four-hundred-page manual on how not to get killed. She orders everything she can afford. She lies about her age. She becomes The Correspondent. Then The Rat walks into her father's hardware store, and the wall she's been building between her hero life and her home life comes apart in one night.
