Summer will be different this year for twelve year old Adam. Since his parents divorced, he will spend the summer at Three Bird Lake in northern Minnesota with just his mother and grandmother. He's not even interested in Alice, the girl next door, at first, but she will become his ally in solving a mystery.
Grandmother's memory problems are getting worse as she starts leaving strange notes for Adam to find. One day Adam finds a very unusual treasure map, and he and Alice work together to solve a family mystery. The setting, characters, and activities are nicely described by author Sara St. Antoine, in this gentle well-written first novel. A good summer read for junior high/middle school readers.
