Bookroo's summary

Truly Lovejoy's life turns upside down when her family moves to Pumpkin Falls to save their struggling bookstore. Feeling overlooked, she discovers a mysterious letter in a missing first edition of Charlotte’s Web. This leads Truly and her new friends on a thrilling treasure hunt across town, unraveling secrets that could spell danger. Can Truly solve the mystery and find the treasure before it's too late?

From the publisher

An unsent letter in a first edition copy of Charlotte’s Web leads to a hunt for treasure in this heartwarming middle grade mystery from the author of The Mother-Daughter Book Club. Now that Truly Lovejoy’s father has been injured by an IED in Afghanistan and is having trouble finding work back home, the family moves from Texas to tiny Pumpkin Falls, New Hampshire, to take over Lovejoy’s Books, a struggling bookstore that’s been in the family for one hundred years. With two older brothers and two younger sisters clamoring for attention, her mother back in school, and everyone up to their eyebrows trying to keep Lovejoy’s Books afloat, Truly feels more overlooked than usual. So she pours herself into uncovering the mystery of an undelivered letter she finds stuck in a valuable autographed first edition of Charlotte’s Web, which subsequently goes missing from the bookshop. What’s inside the envelope leads Truly and her new Pumpkin Falls friends on a madcap treasure hunt around town, chasing clues that could spell danger.
