The Bell Bandit

Synopsis

For as long as Jessie could remember, New Year's Eve meant staying at Grandma's house and the long, slow climb to the top of Lovell's Hill, where the trees parted and the sky opened and there stood the old iron bell...

But this year, everything is different. Grandma has accidentally set her house on fire, which means Evan has to sleep on the couch in the living room while the whole house is turned into a construction site. And when Jessie showshoes her way up Lovell's Hill, she finds that the New Year's Eve bell is missing. Who would steal the bell? How can Jessie and Evan get it back in time for New Year's Eve? And why does Grandma seem so different?

The third book about the unforgettable brother-sister duo of the best-selling Lemonade War series explores the complex emotions of children as they face profound change.
