6 Children a detective and a photographer! What happens to intertwine all their lives? What magic brings about a happy ending--well almost a happy ending. There is still a few things that weren't resolved. This was a book I had bought almost 20 years ago while I was a substitute teacher and got a discount, but I didn't read it until this month.
