Twelve-year-old Candice Miller is spending the summer in Lambert, South Carolina, in the old house that belonged to her grandmother, who died after being dismissed as city manager for having the city tennis courts dug up looking for buried treasure--but when she finds the letter that sent her grandmother on the treasure hunt, she finds herself caught up in the mystery and, with the help of her new friend and fellow book-worm, Brandon, she sets out to find the inheritance, exonerate her grandmother, and expose an injustice once committed against an African American family in Lambert.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Well-rounded book submitted by Xris on November 25, 2020, 2:21am The main character has had to move for the summer and makes a new friend across the street. She and her new friend solve a mystery about a fortune that was hidden in the city. Her grandmother tried to solve it first, then groomed her granddaughter to be the one to solve it. Hits on race, sexual orientation, segregation, etc. Now I want to read The Westing Game!
