Book Description
Lily has quit speaking, but she sees everything. When sly newcomer Tinny Bridges comes to town, Lily suddenly has a lot to talk about, if only she can make herself speak the words. She has read every Nancy Drew book in the library. She is great at spying clues and keeping secrets. She has to be. She has secrets of her own that no one can ever find out. With lying, stealing, sneaky Tinny around, Lily must be on her guard, or risk having her secret revealed. But Tinny won’t leave Lily alone. She takes candy from the general store and blames Lily. She tries to steal Lily’s friends and even her father’s affection. Then Tinny goes missing, and only watchful, mystery-loving Lily has any idea what happened to her. But for Lily, finding Tinny means confronting her hidden past.
