Aprašymas

Now with a fresh new look!

Two self-proclaimed outsiders are swept into a magical mystery in this middle grade adventure from E.L. Kongsburg, the Newbery Medal–winning author of From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

Jeanmarie wants nothing to do with the look-alike, think-alike girls in her school. That’s how Jeanmarie forms an unlikely friendship with another outsider, Malcolm, over an equally unlikely activity: burying dead animals at the secluded spot they name Jericho Tel.

It’s at Jericho Tel that Jeanmarie and Malcolm encounter Tallulah, a famous actress who happens to be dead. Not too dead, though, to send them on a magical quest to find out who stole the famous Regina Stone. What starts as a hunt for a missing diamond soon becomes something far more valuable—a journey filled with adventure, self-discovery, and the kind of friendship that changes everything.
