Some townspeople want to sell it, and soon they start squabbling about what to do with the money. Somerville's young sleuths decide to get involved before the letter can be sold or stolen. AGES: 9-12 AUTHOR: Raised in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Michele Jakubowski has the teachers in her life to thank for her love of reading and writing. While writing has always been a passion for Michele, she believes it is the books she has read throughout the years, and the teachers who assigned them, that have made her the storyteller she is today. ILLUSTRATOR: Amerigo Pinelli lives in the heart of Naples, Italy, among narrow streets and old churches. A long time ago, when he was a child, he met a pencil, and from that moment on he started to play, joke, fight, and make peace with it. Spending his life doing the thing he enjoys the most is a great gift. Three ladies make his life full of joy and color-Giulia, Chiara, and the last arrival, Teresa! A history professor passing through Somerville stops to see the town's museum and discovers a valuable medal amid the dust. And Somerville's young sleuths search for the story behind the medal.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren: Working at a school (and having two of her own children) gives Michele Jakubowski more than enough experiences to draw from when writing middle-level fiction.

Michele lives in Powell, Ohio, with her husband, John, and their children, Jack and Mia.

Long ago, Amerigo Pinelli met a pencil when he was a child living in the heart of the city of Naples, Italy. From that moment on he started to play, joke, fight, and make peace with it. Today, he works in animation and publishing, and he also teaches kids in the comics school of Naples. He thinks making a living doing the thing he enjoys the most is a great gift, and he considers himself very lucky. His three daughters Chiara, Teresa, and Irene fill his life with color and joy. They are really unpredictable! For him and his wife, Giulia, it's impossible to get bored!
