In 1901 when she visits her friend Joe and his family in the mountains of North Carolina, thirteen-year-old Mandie insists on finding out who might be using the supposedly deserted log cabin where she and her father had lived before he died.
When Mandie and Celia left the United States to spend the summer traveling with Mrs. Taft through Europe, they didn't expect that each new place they visited would have a mystery and adventure all its own.
"Ever since Mandie's mother told her she was going to have a baby, the thought of having to share her mother with a brother or sister caused problems for her. When she arrives home those troubling thoughts become even stronger."--Back cover.
