Publisher's Synopsis
A pair of teens visiting their wealthy Cousin Jasper in a sleepy seaside community stumble upon a family mystery in this suspenseful Newbery Honor Book. When the strangely distant Jasper barely acknowledges their arrival, Oliver and Janet form a friendship with a local beekeeper, whose tales of the region's past and their ancestors' history slowly reveal the secret behind their cousin's depression - and just might suggest a solution.
