Gr. 5-8. Set in the small town of Orange Grove City, California, in 1951, this episodic tale involves 12-year-old Paolo, his younger brother, and their deaf cousin, Billy, who together set off to solve a mystery that begins when their dog, Rufus, shows up with a half-eaten $20 bill. Thinking the money may have come from a buried treasure, the boys eventually discover that the bill belongs to the local Roman Catholic church. In the course of their sleuthing, the boys learn surprising things about themselves, their families, and their neighbors. Narrator Paolo has an appealingly distinctive voice and a keen eye for observing people, and the supporting characters are equally memorable, including the kind and wise monsignor and an obnoxious rich boy. Middle-school readers should enjoy this engaging, frequently funny coming-of-age story. Ed Sullivan
