Be at

Hi.

I don't understand what she's at in her latest book.

Is the verb phrase "is at" a transitive one and is "what" its object? Or, is "is at" a linking verb phrase with "what" as a complement in the sentence?

Thank you.

Thank you, MQ, for your reply.

Does it mean that "is at" is a transitive phrasal verb with "what" as its object in the sentence?
