Product description

A 2019 Coretta Scott King Honor book.

A book. A riddle. A town full of secrets for two kids to solve… When Candice finds a letter in her granny’s attic in Lambert, South Carolina, she opens up a long-lost puzzle. The letter talks about a young woman. An injustice from decades ago. A buried mystery – and a fortune to be won by the person who solves it. So Candice and Brandon, the quiet boy across the street, decide to unravel the clues. The quest tugs them deep into Lambert’s history – full of ugly deeds, forgotten heroes and family secrets. Can they solve the puzzle before the answers slip into the past?

A gripping and moving mystery by a hugely talented writer

Powerful themes of lost secrets and the legacy of racism
