Having the summer off can be difficult for someone in the
educational system, where one often needs to take jobs
during the summer months as supplementary income. So finds
Skye Denison, as she runs through difficult jobs all
summer. One of the most torturous is helping her uncle
coordinate the First Annual Route 66 Yard Sale, which seems
to put the entire community on edge, pitting family against
family. A natural born swindler, her uncle lets snotty
television crews take over her house, okays dubious entries
into the petting zoo and leaves Skye to take care of all of
the troublesome messes.
Filled with the characters readers know and enjoy from
previous Scumble River mysteries, the plot is easy to fall
into for even the novice Denise Swanson
reader.
Yard sales can bring out the worst in people. So when
Scumble River school psychologist Skye Denison organizes a
100-mile yard sale, otherwise neighborly folk get downright
nasty: her own mother creams a woman, and a battle of the
sexes breaks out. But when her former boss is found
murdered, nobody knows for sure how this cookie will
crumble.
