First line: How does Mom find it crumpled in the bottom of my backpack, where it's been sitting for the past three week?
Why you should read this book: Eddie Lewin is not jazzed about being voluntold to perform twenty-five hours of community service at the local retirement home as part of his bar mitzvah project when he's already got school and baseball and robotics and his actual bar mitzvah to worry about, but there's no way around it. He's got to show up at Silver Brook Pavilion and make nice with the residents, who are definitely weird, but also kind of interesting, and also possibly haunted by a ghost and definitely targeted by a thief. Eddie's determined to get to the bottom of these mysteries, but even with the help of his friends, old and new, he's still a kid, and somebody is not happy to have him poking around.
Why you shouldn't read this book: There is a surprisingly sad bit toward the end.
