About
this book:
“Anne and Wendy are preparing for a new adult literacy class when Ben races inside the library to tell his mother that their dog, Hershey, has found a package on the porch. Anne chases Hershey around the yard until she is finally able to retrieve it and discovers an envelope with several thousand dollars of cash inside! Wendy is convinced the money is an answer to prayer - the library's elevator is in severe need of repair - but Anne doesn't feel right using the cash it if wasn't meant for them. There is a cryptic note in the envelope, but no signature or other identifying information. Where did all of this money come from? Who does it belong to?
Meanwhile, the literacy program is off to a good start, but Wendy is hoping for one more student: the father of one of Liddie's classmates, who is unable to read stories to his daughter. Can Wendy and Anne find a way to encourage him to come to the class without embarrassing him?”

My personal Rating-
I
personally think that this is one of the best in this series so far. Not only was
the mystery very interesting, I found myself laughing at different points over
different characters. Overall, it was a very fun read and I personally would
love to visit this library! ;)
See y’all
on Monday with a new review!
