From the Edgar-nominated author of Coop Knows the Scoop comes an
exciting mystery perfect for fans of From the Desk of Zoe Washington
and Holes.
When Grady and his dad learn that the town oddball, Eudora "Kooky"
Klinch left something for them in her will, they can only imagine what
it might be. When it turns out it's an old scrap of 300-year-old
tapestry, they are bitterly disappointed. But the cloth comes with a
note saying, "This is no ordinary piece of needlework. It's a treasure
map. Riddles and Clues. To the victor go the riches." Grady's dad
dismisses it, but Grady thinks this could be the chance of a lifetime.
With the help of his friends Thad, Clemmie, and the town dog Ophelia,
Grady is determined to crack the clues and find the treasure.
But when someone tries to break into Grady's house one night, and then
the local antiques expert who examined the tapestry is found
unconscious, Grady realizes that he's not the only one who knows about
the treasure map. There's more at risk than he bargained for, and
solving this mystery just got a lot more dangerous.
