Aprašymas
Twelve-year-old Jim Hawkins is tired of starting over. Since his father died, he and his struggling mother have moved three times in three years, and Jim would rather disappear into his phone than risk getting attached to anyone again. Then he meets Mr. Passeris, the mysterious Greek recluse next door, whose crumbling house is full of puzzles, secrets, and far too much overgrown grass. A miserable summer job mowing Mr. P's lawn slowly turns into an unlikely friendship. But when Mr. P dies, he leaves behind one final cryptic puzzle that sends Jim and his new friends, the Secret Puzzle Society, on a treasure hunt bigger than they ever imagined. With his mom about to lose her job and another move looming, Jim must solve the last puzzle before time runs out, or lose the first place that has finally begun to feel like home. The Westing Game meets The Goonies in a heartfelt middle-grade mystery about grief, friendship, and the puzzles that bring people together, with clues woven into the story so readers can solve alongside the characters. It launches the Secret Puzzle Society, the start of a new series.
