Cornersville Trace

Cornersville Trace (the town where most of these books take place) is what they call it on all the maps, and in the census forms, but the residents just call it Cornersville most of the time. It's a made-up town in the suburbs of Des Moines, Iowa (in between Urbandale and Johnston - on maps of the Des Moines metro area, the only thing between those towns is an interstate, but it this version of reality, I-80 is like the Tardis: it's bigger on the inside).

S.J. Adams, who uses Cornerville in the novel SPARKS, has more info here!
