Miss Moses LoBeau, rising sixth grader, has plans for the summer.
To hang out with her best friend, Dale Earnhardt Johnson III and his dog, Queen Elizabeth II. To help out in the eccentric café run by the Colonel and Miss Lana, who took her in 11 years ago when a hurricane washed Mo into town. To continue her lifelong search for her Upstream Mother. And to research her own life story – which so far is one big fat mystery.
Mo’s summer looks sweet. Until Detective Joe Starr shows up asking too many questions. And cranky old Mr. Jesse turns up dead. And Dale becomes the chief suspect in tiny Tupelo Landing’s first murder.
Can Mo’s life get any worse?
Yes. And it does. A kidnapping, a car crash, a bank robbery, a hurricane… Mo and Dale set out to clear Dale’s name, solving the mysteries of their own lives in the process.
Fortunately, Mo’s always been lucky.
Three Times Lucky
