Mennonite teen Lucy looks forward to the annual visit of her Amish friend Alice. But this year, Alice is exploring life outside the Old Order during Rumspringa, and Lucy grows envious of Alice's temporary freedom. When Alice disappears, Lucy leads her own investigation. This culturally sensitive novel offers a glimpse into Amish and Mennonite communities, though it's a relatively predictable mystery.
