A 12-year-old girl finds out about a girl who drowned in the local lake 40 years ago. Was it an accident or was it murder? To find out, she sets out to enlist help from townspeople who might remember the incident. Before she finds an answer though, a woman related to the case winds up dead.

This book was a really good, "old-fashioned" mystery. The characters are so well-written, especially the townspeople like Mr. Root and the brothers Ubub and Ulub. The little girl who narrates the story is so eloquent and emotional that you forget she is still a young girl.
