  Footer Davis' mother is mentally ill and has been sent to a hospital many times for her bipolar condition.  There has been a fire in the neighboring farm where the grandfather's body was recovered, but his two grandchildren that lived with him were never found.  Footer goes with her neighboring friends to see if they can figure out what happened. As they sneak around Footer begins have hallucinations.  She wonders if she is also mentally ill like her mother.
  
  If finished the book but it was not compelling reading for me. The mystery did not seem to lead the story. They issues with the mother's illness and how if affected Footer was more predominate.
