The game is afoot, and a 13-year-old YouTube star is on the case. Hayley LeBlanc, who rose to prominence alongside other members of her family on the Bratayley channel, is the author behind The Hayley Mysteries, a series of YA novels inspired by Nancy Drew.
The first installment in The Hayley Mysteries, titled The Haunted Studio, is due out on July 19. Booklist's blurb for the book describes it as "perfect for fans of Nancy Drew," which makes sense, since LeBlanc channeled the iconic teen sleuth as part of her writing process. "I love reading books and thought it would be a lot of fun to create a mystery series, since I am a big fan of crime, mystery, and horror films and TV series," LeBlanc said in a statement. "I like Nancy Drew novels and I thought it would be fun to create a modernized version that is relatable to teens in today's world.

The first episode of Annie and Hayley LeBlanc’s new foodie family fued series, Annie vs. Hayley, went live on Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel this past weekend, and has since garnered nearly 400,000 views.
In the 14-minute episode, the sisters — who’ve amassed 7 million subscribers on their family YouTube channel Bratayley — have 60 minutes to see who can bake the best birthday cake for SpongeBob SquarePants, one of Nickelodeon’s flagship animated characters.
Annie and Hayley are helped by recipe cards and a complete stock of ingredients...but there’s a catch. The recipe cards only list which ingredients are needed and the basic order in which they’re incorporated, not specific measurements or cooking times.
In this and future episodes, Annie and Hayley’s already arduous task is complicated by a menacing wheel of mid-cooking twists. We won’t spoil anything, but each of them have another layer added to their...
