Dear Librarian: If you have ever had to move when you didn't want to, you will sympathize with Aiden who has to leave her farm when her father dies and move to the city. She learns about a stash of valuable coins called Gold Falcons hidden in the huge Ingle Building. Hoping to rescue her farm, she goes looking for gold There are a number of people also searching for the gold, including the meanest girl in her school. With the help of school-smart Adam, feisty Liesl, two cats, and a prize-show mouse, Aiden finds much more than she expects to. Readers familiar with my Gill Park books will recognize Aiden's new home. Here's to adventure in ordinary, everyday life! I believe in adventure even in ordinary, everyday life, and as a drama teacher for years, I love to give workshops sparking creativity. Being a shy person myself, I love bringing out the quiet kids.
