Bookroo's summary
Cecile's world turns upside down when she loses a precious necklace at a Floating Circus. Desperate to recover it, she embarks on a thrilling chase through New Orleans, from elegant tea parties to perilous swamps. As she retraces her steps, Cecile uncovers unexpected secrets and faces challenges that test her resolve. Will she find the necklace and unravel the mysteries lurking in the shadows of the city?
From the publisher
As Cecile exits a crowded showboat after enjoying a lavish Floating Circus, she stumbles–and when she gets up, she realizes that the cameo necklace she borrowed from her aunt is no longer on her neck. Knowing that the necklace was the last gift Tante Tay’s husband gave her before he died, Cecile is desperate to find it. As she tracks down the people in the crowd who were near her when she fell, her search takes her into many corners of New Orleans, from a society tea party to the crowded French Market, even the dangerous cypress swamps…and deep into secrets she never imagined! An illustrated “Looking Back” essay provides facts about the 1850s.
