Illustrated by
Colin Jack.
With their tenth birthday approaching, twins Molly and Penelope find themselves squabbling over the details of their joint party, and how to solve the mysteries in Grandpa Quill's annual celebratory scavenger hunt. Magical mishaps enhance the action, while gentle humor and riddles help diffuse the realistic family drama. This third book is an amusing (if predictable) tale of sisterly tension and birthday-party pressures.
