Miss Moses Lobeau, a 6th grader, is three times lucky. "Lucky once when her upstream mother tied [her] to a makeshift raft and sent [her] downstream to safety. (It was during a hurricane.) Lucky twice when the Colonel crashed his car and stumbled to the creek just in time to snatch [her] from the flood. Lucky three times when Miss Lana took [her] in like [she] was her own and kept [her]. " She now lives with the Colonel and Miss Lana who are like a family to her and is on a quest to find her birth mother. She sends notes in bottles with various townspeople when they go out of town, hoping that her birth mother will find one and respond. She is researching for her autobiography and has filled 5 notebooks. She and her best friend, Dale, are the Desperado Detectives and have a murder, a missing person, and a much-too-close-to-home kidnapping to solve. This book was a Newbery Award Honor book, rightfully so.
"We can't change the past. We can only be grateful for the life of a new day, and move on."
