Aprašymas

WHAT IF YOU COULD BE TWELVE AGAIN-JUST FOR A FEW HOURS?

Before smartphones. Before the internet. Before childhood came with a screen.

When sixteen-year-old Aubrie helps her grandmother, Erin, clear out a storage unit, a battered, wooden box resurfaces-stuffed with a magnifying glass, a crystal ball, and a hotel key that was never returned. One look, and Erin goes quiet.

"It started with a tooth," she finally says.

Kaua'i, Hawai'i, 1970. Twelve-year-old Erin O'Brien had only wanted a summer of harmless sleuthing, the kind her fearless reporter grandmother Kate Royles had taught her to love. During their first night on the island, a robbery rips through the hotel where they're staying-and a stranger with tattoos creeping up his neck won't stop watching her. Before she knows it, Erin is holding a Hawaiian object her own grandmother has carried for decades, one that someone else wants badly enough to come looking for it.

Steeped in the scents, legends, and rhythms of old Hawai'i, The Secret of the Whale Tooth is a 1970s nostalgic, twist-filled cozy mystery about the detective hiding in every grandmother-and the granddaughter about to discover her.

For every grandparent who has ever looked at a grandchild and thought, "You should have known me when I was twelve."
