The Jewels of Sofia Tate
Fifteen-year-old Garnet Walcott is
lonely and having a hard time making new friends
when she moves to Kitchener, Ontario. Her mother, already preoccupied with
work, has begun a search for a father she never knew.
By
chance, Garnet meets and befriends Elizabeth Tate, an elderly widow, who
tells her that a priceless set of heirloom jewels dating back to the
Russian nobility may be hidden in her Victorian home.
Garnet
is introduced to Dan Peters, one of the most popular boys at school, and
when Elizabeth suffers a heart attack, Garnet persuades him to help her
find the jewels for Elizabeth. Do the jewels really exist? Garnet believes
they do and drawing on that faith, follows the clues left by Elizabeth’s
late eccentric and religious father-in-law and discovers much more than
she bargained for.
