Only because they were trying to find the source of some pesky mice who were chewing on the house’s wiring did they move around the furniture and boxes that her grandmother had stored in the attic. Now, with the package in hand, what should Annie do with it? Finding the rightful owner becomes a quest that reveals some long-held secrets in Stony Point—secrets that trigger greed and violence.

But can the teens and the seniors help Annie in her hunt for the rightful owner of the package?
