Bookroo's summary

Eddie's bar mitzvah project at Silver Brook Pavilion turns into an unexpected adventure. The residents, with their hidden pasts and a rumored ghost, challenge his views on the elderly. When a thief strikes and suspicion falls on him, Eddie must clear his name. Teaming up with Tessa, his fellow volunteer and crush, they dive into the mysteries of Silver Brook. Can they uncover the truth before it's too late?

From the publisher

Thirteen-year-old Eddie needs to do a community service project in preparation for his bar mitzvah. Against his better judgment, he ends up with a volunteering gig at Silver Brook Pavilion retirement home, where the residents call him Eddie Whatever rather than worry about remembering his last name. These old folks soon upend all Eddie’s assumptions about the boringness of the elderly. There’s a dramatic courtship unfolding, long-hidden secret identities, a rumor of a vengeful ghost, and a thief on the loose. When suspicion falls on Eddie, he teams up with his fellow volunteer (and crush), Tessa, to solve the mysteries of Silver Brook.
