What would you do if your library book
is due back and it has disappeared?
Stella Louella finds herself in this
very situation. She tries searching
for the book in the last place she had
it and discovers it's gone. Stella is
soon racing against time to retrieve
her book as it is passed, always one
step ahead of her, to different readers
throughout town. Even Officer Tim, who
thought the book was a "classic tale of
unlawful entry" is unable to locate the
mystery book. Ernst's large pastel
illustrations of the town following the
frantic Stella add to the clues in the
text as to what book she has lost.
Before the end of the story, see if
you can guess which book it is and see
if Stella finds it.
