A sixth-grade community service project turns dangerous when intrepid, resourceful Emmy abandons caution while delivering food to a needy family. Emmy's frank demeanor and persistent altruism are appealing traits, but her guilelessness leads her into a criminal's clutches. The mystery is too mild to be truly suspenseful, but Emmy's good-intentioned mistakes raise provocative questions about choosing right from wrong.
