An unsent letter in a first edition copy of Charlotte's Web leads to a hunt for treasure in this heartwarming middle grade mystery from the author of The Mother-Daughter Book Club.
Truly Lovejoy's 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 Lovejoy's Books, a struggling bookstore that's been in the family for one hundred years.
Truly's two older brothers and two younger sisters are clamouring for attention, her mother is back in school, and everyone is up to their eyebrows trying to keep Lovejoy's Books afloat. Truly feels more overlooked than usual. She pours herself into uncovering the mystery of an undelivered letter she finds stuck in a valuable autographed first edition of Charlotte's Web, which subsequently goes missing from the bookshop. What's inside the envelope leads Truly and her new Pumpkin Falls friends on a madcap treasure hunt around town, chasing clues that could spell danger.
