Emily was not at all happy that she had to move to New Hampshire from Indianapolis. However, along with her twin brother, Jiggs, she made new friends, and they got into something she never expected. She found a very old envelope with a poem in it that promised that she, Jiggs, and their friends, Pete and Repete, would be richly rewarded if they followed the clues and the direction to keep their actions a secret. The clues led them on a chase through the town and through time.
