Thirteen-year-old Andi Carter wants to surprise her mother with the perfect birthday gift. But keeping her plans to earn money a secret from her family is easier said than done. When her peach harvesting job ends in disaster, she secures a position at the local general store after school. At last, one of Andi's ideas is working out . . . until the day she witnesses a back-alley crime that places a beloved citizen at the scene. A divided town and the suspect's vengeful younger brother put pressure on Andi to admit she made a mistake. And when her horse, Taffy, disappears, Andi must reexamine her conscience and decide: Is the price of telling the truth worth losing Taffy forever? The Circle C Adventures have captivated the hearts of children ages 8-14 (and their parents!) and this last adventure is one they won't want to miss.
