Such a cute easy read. A heartwarming middle grade mystery. Truly Lovejoy's father is injured in Afghanistan. When he returns home he has to change careers. He moves his family to a small town called Pumpkin Falls to run a book store that has been in his family for years. Truly is in middle school, just trying to fit in. While helping in the bookstore she comes across a secret letter found in an autographed copy of Charlottes Webb. She enlists some class mates to help her figure out the clue in the letter and possibly find another one. The adventure begins. Such fun characters. The author made me want to visit Pumpkin Falls and meet the towns people for myself.
Quick and easy kids book to break an adult reading slump. Entertaining, but not earth shattering.
A cute fun little story I think MG readers who enjoy small town and mysteries will like.
A cute story, but I absolutely detested Truly’ father
What a lovely book. It took me awhile to get into it, but I'm glad I stuck with it and continued on. The town if full of interesting and quirky characters. The town itself is tucked with corners and crannies, as well as the bookstore the family is trying to save. There is an interesting literary mystery in the story to get the plot moving, but more importantly the story is about a family that's hurting that finds its way back to each other.
Okay so when I picked up this book I didn't think I would like it very much and it took me a while to get into it but once I did OMG I LOVED IT. That ending was one of the best endings ever and I actually teared up which isn't uncommon but I just really liked this story.
Such a cute, cozy mystery!
I loved the characters, could feel their embarrassment secondhand, and rooted for them the entire time! A perfect book that shows the good and bad sides of family and friends wrapped in a nice winter bow. And lots of Shakespeare quotes! Plus, as a birder myself, I loved all the bird references!
While the beginning of the book was slow, the last 200 pages flew by! I can't wait to read the next one.

This book has so much heart! It even made me sob towards the end! Again because it's a middle reader I figured out the mystery too quickly. But I feel like this book makes up for that by giving you a realistic small town setting and a father figure worth crying the whole book over.
