Description
In a small Pennsylvania town where everyone knows everyone’s business, a boy named Jack Gantos is pulled into a mystery that begins with a simple assignment and quickly turns into a real-life investigation. As he navigates local rules, family expectations, and the secrets adults keep buried, Jack discovers that the past is never as settled as it seems. Blending humor with suspense, this installment of the Norvelt series explores themes of curiosity, community, and the courage it takes to ask questions when the answers aren’t meant to be found. Jack Gantos’s distinctive, accessible storytelling—equal parts witty and heartfelt—makes the search for truth feel both personal and thrilling.
