Thirteen-year-old Nellie is upset by her unconventional parents' decision to go to Colombia to adopt a baby and by the mysterious goings-on in the cemetery near her rural Pennsylvania home.

Grade 5-7-Nellie's parents are constantly embarrassing her with their peculiar behavior. Looking like refugees from the hippie generation, they're vegetarians, live on a farm, and now, as if those things aren't enough to set a 13-year-old apart from the crowd, they are adopting a baby from Colombia. Nellie feels she will never impress good-looking Rick Keppler, whose family is so normal. Moreover, something strange is going on in the old graveyard on her family's property-a place that has always been Nellie's refuge. Support from her loving family and strong, close-knit, Christian community enable Nellie to solve the mystery and accept the adoption of her new brother, realizing that, in spite of their differences, God's love binds everyone together. A page-turning mystery, combined with some gentle spiritual guidance, makes this a good choice for those looking for recreational reading infused with traditional Christian values.
