Ellie hates being dirty. Lillie wants to be a detective. Ellie thinks Lillie should quit spying. Weeks before their twelfth birthday, their world turns upside down.
Farms in Triple Gap, Georgia face bankruptcy and fueling stations run out of gasoline.

Then a stranger comes to town that changes everything.
When Lillie turns her habit of spying into serious detective work, she discovers the stranger harbors a buried secret, one she's determined to unearth. But nothing prepares her for the truth. Can Lillie unravel the mystery in time to save her home?
