Newbery-Ehrenbuch. Ein urkomisches Southern-Debüt mit der Art von Charakteren, die Sie einmal im Leben treffen.
Die aufsteigende Sechstklässlerin Miss Moses LoBeau lebt in der kleinen Stadt Tupelo Landing, NC, wo jedermanns Geschäft Fairgame ist und kein Geheimnis heilig ist. Sie hat sich vor elf Jahren in einem Hurrikan an Land gespült und seitdem macht sie Wellen. Obwohl Mo hofft, eines Tages ihre "vorgelagerte Mutter" zu finden, hat sie ein Zuhause mit dem Colonel gefunden – einem Café-Besitzer mit einer vergessenen Vergangenheit seiner eigenen – und Miss Lana, der fabelhaften Café-Gastgeberin. Sie wird diejenigen, die sie liebt, mit jedem Stück ihres starken Willens und ihrer harten Einstellung beschützen. Als also ein Anwalt in die Stadt kommt und nach einem Mord fragt, Mo und ihr bester Freund, Dale Earnhardt Johnson III, machten sich auf, die Wahrheit aufzudecken, in der Hoffnung, die einzige Familie zu retten, die Mo jemals gekannt hat.
Voller Weisheit, Humor und Körnung wird dieses zeitlose Garn das Herz selbst des strengsten Yankees schmelzen.
