About This Book
Jessy knows there's a treasure buried somewhere on the farm—but will she able to find it in time?
Jessy's stepmother has just inherited Great-Uncle Matthew's farm, but their family can't afford to live there—unless they can find the store of gold coins hidden on the farm long ago. Great-Uncle Matthew's parrot, Goldie, hasn't talked in months, so Jessy's determined to make her speak again. When she does, Jessy realizes that Goldie's words sound like clues. Clues that might help her find the treasure. . . .
