About this ebook

An unsent letter in a first edition copy of Charlotte’s Web leads to a hunt for treasure in this heartwarming middle grade mystery from the author of The Mother-Daughter Book Club.

Now that Truly Lovejoy’s father has been injured by an IED in Afghanistan and is having trouble finding work back home, the family moves from Texas to tiny Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire, to take over Lovejoy’s Books, a struggling bookstore that’s been in the family for one hundred years.

With two older brothers and two younger sisters clamoring for attention, her mother back in school, and everyone up to their eyebrows trying to keep Lovejoy’s Books afloat, Truly feels more overlooked than usual. So she pours herself into uncovering the mystery of an undelivered letter she finds stuck in a valuable autographed first edition of Charlotte’s Web, which subsequently goes missing from the bookshop. What’s inside the envelope leads Truly and her new Pumpkin Falls friends on a madcap treasure hunt around town, chasing clues that could spell danger.

Fans of Heather Vogel Frederick’s Mother-Daughter Book Club series “will rejoice for a new series with a similarly cozy New England setting, great characters, and literary references to beloved classics” (School Library Journal).

Ratings and reviews

This book is so amazing. I'm so happy Heather made a sequel. The book delivers performance about a family moving to Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire. There dad has lost his hand and his dad is in the military. So they move a lot. Also is about the family shop, Livejoy Books, which is Trulys dads (JT) new job. Also, Trulys aunt, her dads older sister comes to help. Since JT has lost his hand, he can't serve in the military, plus his parents are now giving the bookshop to their kid, JT and True AKA Aunt True.The book is great and delivers great performance. On my reading list, this is my favorite book.

I love this book I recommend this to students and adults!
