Nicholas, an eleven-year-old math and music prodigy, must find Grandpa Rose's heirlooms to save his family's home where his beloved stillborn brother is buried beneath a backyard tree. Misfit allies (young and old), tattoo clues, smugglers' tunnels, and séances make for a lively treasure-hunt adventure. Music and math notations appear throughout the text, effectively and cleverly underscoring Nicholas's quirky voice.
