Wavie
Conley didn’t think that her living
arrangements could get much worse than the
run-down trailer park that she was used
to, but she is proven wrong when she pulls
up to the trashy farmhouse that is to be
her new home. After Wavie’s mother dies
she is sent to live with a horrid aunt,
whom she has never met, and who soon
proves to be a cruel and menacing witch.
This is rural Kentucky and as far as Wavie
is concerned, there is nothing redeeming
about this horrible place. Then she meets
Gilbert and Camille, who turn out to be
just about the best sidekicks a kid could
need. In
an attempt to prevent her aunt from
gaining legal guardianship of Waivie, the
trio embark on solving the mystery of
Wavie’s absent and unknown father. How
much information can three kids uncover
about this mystery man? Will Wavie end up
leaving the Kentucky holler that she so
desperately wants to escape? There are
some unexpected twists along the way as
these three friends investigate and reveal
some hidden secrets that will change
Waivie’s life forever.
