The unforgettable star of Just Harriet returns for another mystery on Marble Island, from award-winning author Elana K. Arnold.
There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer:
- She always tells the truth.
- Sheβs loving spending her summer on Marble Island, where she is an A+ mystery-solver.
- Okay, maybe she doesnβt always tell the truth.
- Actually...she has a tendency to lie quite a bit.
Which is why, when one of the guests at her grandmotherβs bed-and-breakfast finds that their treasured pair of binoculars has gone missing, no one believes Harriet when she said she had nothing to do with it. But this is one time Harriet isnβt lyingβand she knows that if she can find the binoculars and figure out who really took them, she can prove it.Β
With her cat, Matzo Ball, her grandmotherβs basset hound, Moneypenny, and Harrietβs new friend, Clarence, helping her out, Harriet knows she can crack the case. But when the culprit isnβt who Harriet expects, itβs up to her to decide how important the truth really is.
