After a tragedy Andi and her sister Bethany are sent to live with their aunt. But in the events that follow Andi finds something mysterious that links to the past. The mysterious thing is in a hidden trunk in the attic wall that provides proof that another Andora lived in the town during the Depression era. This book was a great mystery for kids ages 9 and up. My 9 year old had no issues reading this one in a day. She said it was very cute and even though it dealt with the death of family that the story was very good.
