Eccentric characters and mystery await-a tall mute Miami Indian farmhand, an old sheep farmer, outrageously rambunctious fifth graders, including the smartest fifth-grade girl in the history of the world and an ancient Miami Indian cave. And then, the pushy mockingbird reappears. "Follow me . . ." In this engaging and original mystery, Wabash Boy learns that even average kids possess remarkable talents, eager to be discovered by those who conquer fear and believe in their calling.
