An unsent letter in a first edition copy of Charlotteโs Web leads to a hunt for treasure in this heartwarming middle grade mystery from the author of The Mother-Daughter Book Club.
Now that Truly Lovejoyโs father has been injured by an IED in Afghanistan and is having trouble finding work back home, the family moves from Texas to tiny Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire, to take over Lovejoyโs Books, a struggling bookstore thatโs been in the family for one hundred years.
With two older brothers and two younger sisters clamoring for attention, her mother back in school, and everyone up to their eyebrows trying to keep Lovejoyโs Books afloat, Truly feels more overlooked than usual. So she pours herself into uncovering the mystery of an undelivered letter she finds stuck in a valuable autographed first edition of Charlotteโs Web, which subsequently goes missing from the bookshop. Whatโs inside the envelope leads Truly and her new Pumpkin Falls friends on a madcap treasure hunt around town, chasing clues that could spell danger.
Fans of Heather Vogel Frederickโs Mother-Daughter Book Club series โwill rejoice for a new series with a similarly cozy New England setting, great characters, and literary references to beloved classicsโ (School Library Journal).
