★★★★★
Jason, a young boy from Boston, finds out that his grandmother, whom he has never met, has just died. His father wants Jason to come to Florida to help clean out his grandmother's house so that they can sell it. While cleaning, he finds a postcard that changes his life forever. The postcard leads him and his new friend Dia on an adventure all over the city of St. Petersburg, Flordia. Along the way they discover the truth about Jason's grandmother, all the while being chased by the criminals who hid the clues to the truth in the first place.
I would definitely recommend this book for 4th-7th graders who like an adventure full of twists and turns. It is a mystery within a mystery, full of surprises that you can't wait to discover.
