When Lucy and her friends discover several pages missing from an old poetry book, they can’t help but wonder which poems were torn out—and why. Their search uncovers a strange detail: the book was checked out of the school library fifty years ago, and no record shows it ever being returned. Even more disturbing, every copy in town is missing the same pages.
Determined to solve the mystery, Lucy and her latchkey friends trace the puzzle back to the town’s first Golden Glass Poetry Contest—and the celebrated winner who borrowed the book decades ago. With their school’s struggling arts program tied to this year’s competition, the kids must decide whether exposing the truth is worth destroying the arts department and shattering a cherished hometown legend.
