Description Every year since he can remember, Adam has spent his summers at his grandmother's rustic cabin on Three Bird Lake. But this year is different. Dad won't be with them, and there's a new girl next door. Alice looks just like the aloof popular girls back home. But she's nice and easy to talk to, and she doesn't mind acting silly or being quiet and dock sitting. And when Adam's grandma starts to leave strange notes in his room - notes that hint at a hidden treasure somewhere at the lake and a secret love from long ago - Alice is the one person Adam can rely on to help find answers.
