Perfect for fans of The Unforgettable Guinevere St. Clair and Three Times Lucky.Trixy needs a story, fast, or she&;s going to fail the fourth grade&;that&;s a fact. But every time she sits down to write, her mind is a blank. The only stories she can think of are Gran&;s, the ones no one else ever believed but Trixy gulped down like sweet tea. Gran is gone now, buried under the lilac bush in the family plot, so it&;s not like Trixy&;s hurting anybody to claim one of those stories as her own, is she? That stolen story turns out to be a huge success, and soon everybody in town wants Trixy to tell them a tale. Before long, the only one left is the story she vowed never to share, the one that made Gran&;s face cloud up with sadness. Trying to find a way out of this tangled mess, Trixy and her friend Raymond hit the road to follow the twists and turns of Gran&;s past. Maybe then Trixy can write a story that&;s all her own, one that&;s the straight-up truth.
