And in her tiny house, every hiding place is in danger of discovery. After a few tries, Binny hides it so well she can't find it again, even after she decides to give it back Now, Binny must team up with her best enemy Gareth, who sets out to play detective and figure out who might have taken the money. Meanwhile the next-door neighbor is doing odd things like presenting Binny with a little doll that looks just like her--with her hand in her pocket, just as Binny's was when she pocketed the cash.

There's plenty more going on, as Binny's older sister Clem has a secret of her own, and her little brother James is having a kung fu clash with his best friend.
