the handsome corpsman, Hugh But whenever she thinks of her best
friend’s beau, Will, her heart does the Jersey Bounce. Charlie is doubly
troubled by the disappearance of beloved schoolmistress Miss Dimple
Kilpatrick one frosty November morning just before Thanksgiving. Miss
Dimple had taught the town’s first graders including Charlie, for
almost forty years, would never just skip town in the middle of a
school year Charlie and her best friend, Annie, are determined to
prove it.
