Return to Lumby! Lumby wasn't always the sleepy, hidden town its residents have known and loved for decades. Back in the 1950s, it had a brief moment of fame when renowned artist Dana Porter made two of its picturesque barns the subject of one of his greatest paintings. In Stealing Lumby, the town is jolted from its comfortable obscurity once again when the famous painting disappears and the national media comes a-calling in an effort to solve the mystery. Things go from bad to worse when one of the barns itself goes missing, and the town's residents set about trying to decide what to make of it all. Some see dollar signs in all the attention, but others just want to get things back to the way they've always been; there is, after all, the Summer Solstice Moo Doo Iditarod to plan for. <p>All of Lumby's frolicking quirkiness comes alive again in this delightful sequel to The Lumby Lines. Faithful readers will recognize old friends, enjoy meeting new ones, and relish all the antics as the story unfolds-as pieces of the stolen barn show up in the strangest of places, a schooner goes sailing down Main Street, and the famous artist recreates his masterpiece in a way that surprises all.</p>
