Description
When a new family comes to Claggett Cove, the small mountain town where Lanky Lonegan lives with his widowed mother, Lanky discovers both a rival and a new friend in young Woodrow Claggett, great-grandson of the town’s founder.
It’s 1913, and Lanky is a 6-foot, 4-inch tall rascal, full of energy, charm, and a determination to follow the timeless advice to “go and find out!” His curiosity has landed him in trouble before, but his motives are never in question. It’s just that being 13 years old means that doing the right thing sometimes entails going about it in the wrong way.
Woodrow is there to spend the summer in Claggett Cove, and at first the two boys get off on the wrong foot. But soon they feel compelled to investigate some strange goings-on, beginning with a “WANTED” poster appearing in the window of the village store. Lanky’s imagination is stimulated — and when the poster disappears soon after a mysterious stranger arrives in town, he is determined to find out why. Soon enough, suspicion falls on one man and then another, as the story of a $10,000 dollar bracelet stolen from a museum in faraway Boston, Massachusetts gets around town.
Lanky and Woodrow are determined to find out the whole story. Little do they know that the desperate thief will do anything to keep from being found out, and their lives are put in danger more than once as they pursue clue after clue to solve the mystery.
