The international singing sensation, Ghost Bird, is a name known around the world. No one knows who the mysterious singer is, but everyone knows her music.
Sang Sorenson sings to escape the reality of her hard life. Locked in a house with her mother...

Silas
Yes! Another clue. "Looking for a light in the night like on the fourth of July." That means that she lives in the United States of America which at least narrows our search down from "Anywhere in the whole wide world" to "Most likely in the United States."
I sigh and jot down the reference on my paper. Luke and Gabriel are working in the same room as me, all three of us trying to find any clues as to where Ghost Bird is.
"Hey does anyone know where the enter button is?" Luke calls suddenly.
I sigh again and answer, "Same place as always, Luke. Labeled correctly above the shift button."
"Oh, yeah... Thank you, Silas!" Luke says cheerily before returning to work.
None of us are really sure how much of Luke's "dumb blond" behavior is a joke and how much is real. It sure can be annoying, though.
Gabriel sets down his tablet and announces smugly, "Finished with my songs, suckers!"
"Only because you didn't have to answer Luke's stupid questions!" I argue with a small smile, although it is also because English is not my first language.
"My questions are not stupid!" Luke cries. "Remember, there is no such thing as a dumb question."
"There is," I say seriously, looking him in his brown eyes. "There most definitely is such a thing as a dumb question."
Luke pouts as Gabe laughs.
I return to my work with a shake of my head and Luke and I am soon finished as well.
"So, what have we found?" I ask the two, holding my paper.
Luke pulls something off his computer and reads, "She is single, has dirty blonde hair, and is lonely."
Blonde, huh? A blonde angel, just like I pictured...
Gabe adds, "Ghost is crazy smart and probably as much of a nerd as Kota, she likes animals even though she has only seen a few, and Ghost lives where there are hot and humid summers and cold winters."
I announce, "Ghost lives somewhere in America and her Mother is the one who abuses her. She says that she only knows one other person, a male, I believe."
"A boyfriend?!" A horrified Luke exclaims.
"Perhaps," I say with a shrug, ignoring the fact that I am oddly disappointed in the thought. "But I didn't really get the "lovers" vibe from the mention. Plus, she never sings of love in that way, at least not that I have seen."
"I've heard her singing of love, but not in the same way that most of the other singers do. If it is a boyfriend, she is quiet about it," Gabriel inserts.
