Mona has the most unusual family in town-and the most
notorious. While she hates all the attention her eccentric
relatives bring to her, there is one Figg family member she likes:
her uncle Florence, the book dealer. But Uncle Florence keeps
hinting that he''s going to find his way to Capri, the Figg family
heaven. And that means leaving Mona behind. Can Mona find Capri
before it''s too late, or will she learn that things are seldom what
they seem when books are involved?
