For fans of Because of Winn-Dixie, Pippa Park Raises Her Game, or The Lemonade War comes a heartfelt story of courage, hope, and forgiveness. ""A beautiful story about forgiveness and self-discovery, characters are relatable and real."" -Readers' Favorite Lille and Ellie Liles are best friends and identical twins. But their plan for summer break is full of opposites. Lillie plans to play baseball on the diamond in the middle of the front yard. Ellie hates being dirty. Lillie wants to be a detective. Ellie thinks Lillie should quit spying. Weeks before their twelfth birthday, their world turns upside down. Farms in Triple Gap, Georgia face bankruptcy and fueling stations run out of gasoline. Lille must forfeit baseball to feed chickens that peck at her legs, grow vegetables she hates eating, and dodge insults from the richest and snobbiest girl in middle school. Then a stranger comes to town that changes everything. When Lillie turns her habit of spying into serious detective work, she discovers the stranger harbors a buried secret, one she's determined to unearth. But nothing prepares her for the truth. Can Lillie unravel the mystery in time to save her home? Award-winning author Julane Fisher brings back this beloved classic in a second edition with all new bonus material!
