Bookroo's summary

Emma, a young girl from a family of extraordinary ancestors, awaits her destiny dream. When it finally arrives, it reveals a daunting task: uncover a legendary treasure hidden in her town's cemetery. With the weight of her family's legacy and her late mother's promise on her shoulders, Emma faces a ghostly mystery that has eluded generations. Can she solve the riddle and fulfill her destiny, or will the mysterious singing ghost thwart her quest? Dive into a tale of courage, legacy, and the supernatural as Emma embarks on an unforgettable adventure.

From the publisher

Dream Big. Be Extraordinary.Everyone in Emma’s family is special. Her ancestors include Revolutionary War spies, brilliant scientists, and famous musicians–every single one of which learned of their extraordinary destiny through a dream. For Emma, her own dream can’t come soon enough. Right before her mother died, Emma promised that she’d do whatever it took to fulfill her destiny, and she doesn’t want to let her mother down. But when Emma’s dream finally arrives, it points her toward an impossible task–finding a legendary treasure hidden in her town’s cemetery. If Emma fails, she’ll let down generations of extraordinary ancestors . . . including her own mother. But how can she find something that’s been missing for centuries and might be protected by a mysterious singing ghost? With her signature blend of lyrical writing, quirky humor, and unforgettable characters, Natalie Lloyd’s The Key to Extraordinary cements her status as one of the most original voices writing for children today.
