Jessy's Dad has recently remarried a woman named Marly who has a son named Matt. Both Jessy and Matt are pre-teens, Jessy younger. They live in an apartment in Wichita but Marly was originally from San Antonio, Texas.

Very shortly into the story, Marly's great uncle Matthew passes away, leaving her a big house, all the furniture, a parrot, and some embroidery squares, but no money.

The parrot, Goldie talks and his phrases seem to be just copies of things he heard that together don't mean much until everyone puts together the clues.

I thought that by the cover of the book it would have been a boring book but that just teaches me to never judge a book by its cover. Im still reading the book but I should be done by today. I'm on page 105/136. I would recommend people to read such an Outstanding book!!!!

I bought this book from a book fair when I was on my 1st year in High School and it's definitely worth the money I saved. *Good times, good times*

Slight but entertaining mystery of the classic tween paperback type.

A good-read for kids. Has "beautiful" messages. And, kinda adventurous.
