Then Ralph, Brandon's crow, brings home a ring that seems to belong to that robbery, and suspicion starts to settle on the kids. Now the friends have a cold case to crack and a boat to rescue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors let Brandon grow up across the series: he was ten in the first book and turns fourteen in this one, so readers who began with The Bird Caper will find the friends older and the trouble bigger. The tug draws on Sigfusson's boyhood around the harbor in Iceland, where he watched his father's ships. The robbery went cold decades ago. A crow with an eye for shiny things is what finally brings it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictoria E.
