Mysterious things begin to happen after Uncle Claude comes to stay with his sister's family.


  • Middle Grade Mystery: Louise and Marcus play detective, trying to figure out if their beloved uncle is also a neighborhood thief.
  • Family Secrets: Their mother remembers a brother full of dreams; their father sees a con artist. The truth is somewhere in between.
  • A Classic Coming of Age Story: A heartfelt tale about figuring out that adults are complicated, and that love is more important than being right.
  • A Secret Code: A mysterious message in Russian—"Ya tebya lyublyu"—holds the key. But what does it mean?
