About This Book

A lively first-person account by the eldest sibling describes how five children set out to recover a missing family diamond ornament, their curiosity propelling a chain of small-town and country adventures. They follow clues from a dancing class to neighborhood squares and farms, encountering neighbors, chance discoveries, and moments of worry and hope. The episodic narrative balances playful mischief and sibling dynamics with amateur detective work, and it explores themes of responsibility, cooperation, and perseverance as the children learn from setbacks and unexpected kindnesses while pursuing the lost treasure.
