The folks in Bright's Pond are at it again. Chief of Police Mildred Blessing has another mystery to solve in this small backwoods Pennsylvania town. Gilda Saucer is renting a house in town and everyone is curious to know why she is here. She just doesn't seem the type to want to live in a small town. Her tight, short skirts, updo of blond curls, and extreme makeup make her appear to be what most of the townspeople are calling a "hussy." When they learn that she is there because her fiance is in the local nursing home, even more curiosity stirs.

Walter Hughs took a bad fall up at the old mine shaft while looking for buried treasure. He's been in a coma at Greenbrier Nursing Home for two weeks. Gilda is in Bright's Pond waiting for him to recover so that they can get married. Coincidentally, Walter just happens to be Stella Kincaid's brother whom she has not seen in ten years. It took the nursing home two weeks to track her down. Another coincidence occurs when pilot Cliff Cardwell makes an emergency landing on Hector's Hill just outside of town.

The people of Bright's Pond just don't trust either one of these outsiders. And when they learn that Walter was looking for buried treasure, they begin trying to connect the two newbies to some shady dealings. But Griselda Sparrow finds Mr. Cardwell and his plane fascinating, and sets out to change everyone's mind about him. Griselda is not so sure about Gilda Saucer. The entire town gets caught up in the hunt for buried treasure and in trying to keep Walter and Gilda from getting married.

GRISELDA TAKES FLIGHT is a comical but touching, whimsical yet inspirational story of mystery, adventure and a little romance on the side. Griselda learns to fly in more ways than one. You'll love this delightful tale, the third in Joyce Magnin's Bright's Pond series.
