The Bell Bandit (Lemonade War #3)

今年的寒假，艾文和潔西來到外婆家，卻發現熟悉的老鐘不見了。那是村裡迎接新年的鐘聲，沒有人知道是誰偷走了它。兩人決定找出真相，透過這場小小的尋鐘冒險，兄妹也一起面對生活的變化與心裡的不安。

Evan and Jessie Treski unmask a bell thief in this funny and heartfelt third installment in the best-selling Lemonade War series.

Everything about this trip to Grandma’s house was different.

First, because of the fire, Mrs. Treski, Evan, and Jessie had driven up to Grandma’s two days after Christmas instead of the day before, missing Christmas with Grandma entirely. Second, the fire had left a hole in the back kitchen wall big enough to drive a car through! Third, someone had climbed the long, slow slope of Lovell Hill to the top and had stolen the old iron bell hanging on its heavy wooden crossbeam.

Who on earth would steal the New Year’s Bell? And how could Grandma, Mrs. Treski, Evan, Jessie, and their neighbors ring in the New Year without it?

"Davies' real talent is human relationships." —Betsy Bird, New York Public Library and Fuse#8 blog "Davies keeps a tight focus on the children: Points of view switch between Evan, with his empathetic and emotional approach to understanding his world, and Jessie, for whom routine is essential and change a puzzle to be worked out. . . . Each of the siblings brings a personal resilience and heroism to the resolution." —Kirkus
