Twelve-year-old Aiden isn't thrilled with life in big-city Gloria, where she and her mother now live after Aiden's father's death. A treasure hunt for valuable coins could be Aiden's ticket back to her beloved farm. Gordon's novel is overcrowded with quirky characters (an elevator-operating clan, a gorilla-costumed baseball team, a mouse being trained to talk...), but it's fast-paced and entertaining.
