Alison Dare, The Heart of the Maiden

Alison Dare is not your typical twelve-year-old. She's the daughter of an archaeologist/adventurer and the masked hero known as the Blue Scarab. To top it off, she's also the niece of an international super-spy; it's no surprise that a craving for danger is in her blood! Unfortunately, her parents have locked her away at the prestigious St. Joan's Academy for Girls, hoping that this would lead to a more "normal" life for their daughter.

A one-off graphic novel by J. Torres and published by Tundra Book in 2010, a piece of 'juvenile fiction' intended for ages 8-11, Alison Dare, The Heart of the Maiden finds itself in a similar vein as Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider.
