Bookroo's summary

Effie Starr Zook, a city girl from New York, is sent to her aunt and uncle's farm in Nowheresville, Pennsylvania, while her parents embark on a global adventure. Expecting a dull summer, Effie instead discovers a mysterious family feud. With a new bike and endless curiosity, she delves into secrets the adults are hiding. Why is the neighbor avoiding her? What worries her relatives? As Effie navigates crackpot politics and serves coffee in a bookstore café, she learns more about her famous great-grandfather and herself. Can she unravel the mystery and uncover the truth?
