Ever wonder who was the first kid to keep a wallet on a big chunky
chain, or wear way-too-big pants on purpose? What about the mythical
first guy who wore his baseball cap backwards? These are the Innovators,
the people on the very cusp of cool. Seventeen-year-old Hunter Braque's
job is finding them for the retail market.
But when a big-money client disappears, Hunter must use all his
cool-hunting talents to find her. Along the way he's drawn into a web of
brand-name intrigue-a missing cargo of the coolest shoes he's ever seen,
ads for products that don't exist, and a shadowy group dedicated to the
downfall of consumerism as we know it.
