Synopsis "The Search for the Texas Topaz"

A tween siblings detective story about loss, self-reliance and family love deep in the heart of Texas.After losing their house and family restaurant in the COVID pandemic, eleven-year-old Emily and her same age stepbrother Simon must spend the summer on a Texas Hill Country ranch with their aunt and uncle who can't afford internet and must sell jewelry to buy groceries for them. Animal lover Simon soon adapts to life in the country while Emily misses her friends in Houston. Since their last visit to the ranch, her great-grandmother Mama King has died, her grandmother has developed dementia, and her bestie cousin has morphed into a rebellious teen. Even worse, Aunt Sandy soon suspects Simon and her of stealing Mama King's jewelry.When Mama King's wedding ring goes missing--a rare Texas topaz and a family heirloom--Emily and Simon team up as detectives to find it and to prove they are not jewelry thieves. The search leads them to an open grave in the old family cemetery, to the old-fashioned shops in the nearby town of Hedwigsburg, and to a Mexican migrant's hideaway cabin on the ranch. They learn to ride horses and make friends with Roberto, the son of the vaquero who works on the ranch. When they help rescue Roberto's mother and aunts from coyote kidnappers, Emily gets the final clue she needs to find the missing ring.The Search for the Texas Topaz is a growing-up mystery adventure for middle grade tweens. With a racially and culturally diverse cast of characters, timely social themes, and a realistic Texas setting, this is a story you won't forget.
