(2) 4-6 Seventh grader Ren runs away to nearby "ghost town" Fortune. She finds refuge in an abandoned school being renovated by quirky octogenarian Hildy, who is in search of treasure--a stash of pearls from Fortune's button-making heyday. The mystery is satisfying, filled with dead ends, scary moments, and surprising twists, but it's the relationships between the characters that make this story memorable.
