Summary:
Amelia MacGuffin is no detective. Shes eleven, quiet, and unlike her four younger siblings, she has no special talents. But Amelia loves her town. Her family has lived there forever. Her parents run the Pacific General Store, and she and her best friends, Birdie and Delphine, are about to start middle school. If Amelia doesnt find the staff, the Dragonfly Day Festival will be canceled . The town needs that tourist money to survive. Unless she cracks the case, Amelias family will lose everything--including the adorable stray dog theyve fallen in love with.She only has seven days to solve Urchin Beachs crime of the century. Its not a lot of time, but Amelia has her list of suspects. It might be the new kids next door. Or the grumpy mystery writer who lives in the towns creepiest mansion. Or perhaps even someone closer to home. Amelia wants to save the town. She wants to save the dog. She wants both, so much. But first, she has to catch a thief.
