About this ebook
"A Compelling, Emotionally Gripping Read"--Booklist
She has to save her grandma and their home.
She also needs to avoid a dangerous robber.
And she must ... definitely ... save the dog.
When her Grandma Beth ends up in the hospital after a stroke, twelve-year-old Poppy Parker realizes she has to come up with a plan that will get their life together back to normal. Somehow. But how is she supposed to do that when there's a robber seeking to shut her up for good?
Frightened, but refusing to give up, Poppy soon ends up in the most unusual witness protection program ever: she'll be temporarily staying with the lead detective's mother. Who happens to be really nice, so Poppy starts feeling almost at home. She even makes sort-of friends with a girl named Lizzie, and happily befriends Gunner, a beautiful dog with an uncertain future.
It's time for new plans now. Get Grandma Beth back home. Don't let the robber catch her. With Lizzie's help, save Gunner's life.
There's just one scary question left: what happens if the robber is safely put behind bars, but Grandma Beth still can't go back home?
