How we calculated Haiti’s payments to France But we do want to offer readers an idea of how we researched this series and came to the conclusions we did, as well as to give credit to historians and researchers whose work formed essential building blocks for our stories. We also read hundreds of books and articles, from tomes published shortly after the Haitian revolution began in 1791 to the most recent, which arrived in bookstores in France just months ago. Over the course of more than a year, we examined thousands of pages of original documents found in public and private archives and libraries, mainly in Haiti, the United States and France.

Something odd is afoot, though, as Esther finds a mysterious note from the Sphinx, offering a mystery and noting that if it doesn't get solved, someone will die. There she engages in rivalries with the "math nerd" campers, who consider her "an alien from the planet Creativity," but she quickly discovers that she can utilize her art skills to solve complicated problems.
