Synopsis

John Verney is obviously writing far more for his own pleasure than for children and this is the way the best children's books get written."--Madeline L'Engle, New York Times

Thirteen-year-old February Callendar is upset to learn that a highway will soon be built through her family's land. When she sees her father swipe a letter off a neighbor's desk, she begins to suspect that shady dealings have taken place. Can she unravel the mystery, discover who keeps sabotaging the bulldozers, and, most importantly, save the family farm?
