Seymour's Secret

By Mindy Hardwick

Eleven-year-old Colt is devestated when his beloved Granddad's vintage toy collection is stolen by a gang of obit robbers. Determined to solve the crime, Colt enlists the help of a girl who talks to ghosts and a gang leader who plants marigolds in the moonlight. But can Colt uncover the secret behind Granddad's toys before everything is destroyed in this middle grade contemporary mystery.
