On summer break and avoiding his assigned reading list, Derek Fallon begins a mysterious adventure while trying to find clues to an incident in his past. After reading an old newspaper clipping about a teenage girl who drowned on Martha’s Vineyard while she was babysitting him, Derek—who was a toddler at the time and does not even recall the event—becomes a detective in search of answers. As summer and his investigation comes to a close, Derek soon realizes that he hasn't done the reading assignment his teacher gave him but that he has learned a valuable lesson: even though reading is hard, everyone needs stories. A fabulous, fast-paced choice for reluctant and avid readers alike, this book also includes drawings throughout.
