Turn Left at the Cow

By Lisa Bullard

Book Overview

Thirteen-year-old Trav has always wondered about his dead-before-he-was-born dad. But when he heads from California to his grandmother's house in rural Minnesota, hoping to learn about his past, he gets more than he bargained for.

It turns out his dad was involved in a bank robbery right before he mysteriously disappeared, and the loot from the take is still missing. Along with Kenny and Iz, the kids next door, Trav embarks on a search for the cash. But the trio's adventure quickly turns dangerous when it becomes clear that someone else is looking for the money--someone who won't give up without a fight

Small Town Mystery: Trav expected a boring summer in rural Minnesota, not a town full of secrets, a lost fortune, and a decades-old crime to solve.Family Secrets: Was Trav's dad a criminal? The closer Trav gets to the truth about the bank heist, the more questions he has about the man he never knew.An Unlikely Friendship: To find the money, city-kid Trav has to team up with the locals, Kenny and Iz. But trusting his new friends might be the biggest risk of all.A Dangerous Rival: The kids aren't the only ones searching for the loot. Someone else wants it badly enough to do whatever it takes to get it first.
