"A sweet, heart-squeezing story!" -- Jaleigh Johnson, New York Times
bestselling author of The Mark of the Dragonfly
When seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a
class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might
be much closer to home than they thought in this fun-filled mystery "as
satisfying as hot soup on a cold day" (Kirkus Reviews, starred
review).
If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they'd be hiding in
their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been
hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was
intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more
than a slingshot and wicked aim, they'd have been sure you got your
facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they'd be doing all of this as
friends...well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention.
Whether through serendipity (really, really good luck) or zemblanity
(really, really bad luck), someone tricked their teacher into using
their seventh-grade class to investigate the mystery of their town's
long-missing treasure. From there, things have escalated. Quickly. Now,
the girls are stuck hiding behind a gravestone, dodging acorns (who knew
acorns could be so threatening?), and just a few clues short of those
jewels.
It's up to these enemies-turned-partners to uncover centuries-old clues
to find the treasure at the end of this book before the mysterious
person on their trail can get to it first...
