(3) 4-6 After the unexpected death of Tara's Grammy Claire, an ecological scientist studying butterflies on a remote South Pacific island, a mysterious scavenger hunt ensues with letters offering cryptic clues linked to ten keys that will unlock the truth behind Grammy's secrets. Suspense, intriguing characterization, and a bit of magical realism create a successful mystery with a twist in its unanticipated conclusion.
