Keenan is recuperating from tuberculosis. He isn’t exactly thrilled about spending time at his father’s house on Centerlight Island, which is right on the border of the U.S. and Canada. How dull. He has no idea what’s in store for him when he meets the one and only ZeeBee. First of all, she is convinced that someone has murdered her dog, Barney. Who would murder a dog? Second of all, she is obsessed with the history of Centerlight Island because it was a haven for gangster activity. She even lives in a home that originally belonged to one of these criminals and believes there may be secrets hidden within. Soon enough, Keenan is drawn into the mystery of uncovering the truth about Barney’s death and in the process makes a pretty huge discovery. Hidden treasure, suspense, mystery, and laughs--this book has it all. (New Hampshire Great Stone Face Award, 2021) |
