Bookroo's summary

Sloane and Amelia, once fierce rivals, are forced to join forces for a school project on a missing treasure. As they uncover century-old clues, they find themselves dodging acorns and hiding in cemeteries, pursued by a cunning adversary with a slingshot. With the jewels tantalizingly close, can these unlikely allies outsmart their mysterious opponent and solve the town's greatest mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

“A sweet, heart-squeezing story!” – Jaleigh Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The Mark of the Dragonfly When seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought in this fun-filled mystery “as satisfying as hot soup on a cold day” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they’d be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they’d have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they’d be doing all of this as friends…well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention. Whether through serendipity (really, really good luck) or zemblanity (really, really bad luck), someone tricked their teacher into using their seventh-grade class to investigate the mystery of their town’s long-missing treasure. From there, things have escalated. Quickly. Now, the girls are stuck hiding behind a gravestone, dodging acorns (who knew acorns could be so threatening?), and just a few clues short of those jewels. It’s up to these enemies-turned-partners to uncover centuries-old clues to find the treasure at the end of this book before the mysterious person on their trail can get to it first…
