About the book
With her trademark voice and witty characters, bestselling author Jen Turano presents a lively tale of hijinks, humor, and romance amid the Merriweather Academy's most tumultuous term yet.
Annaliese Merriweather is currently serving as the acting headmistress of the Merriweather Academy for Young Ladies in place of her sister, who is on her honeymoon. However, she is feeling uncertain about her abilities for the role, especially after misplacing two troublesome students during a trip to a county fair. To help locate them, she enlists the eccentric inventor Seth McCormick.
But the troubles don't end there as one of the students goes missing again, this time in pursuit of a pirate map. Annaliese and Seth join forces to track her down, accompanied by a host of rescued animal friends. As they navigate through a series of chaotic events, sparks begin to fly between Annaliese and Seth. Together, they must outsmart dangerous individuals also on the hunt for treasure, all while following their own hearts' desires.
In her signature style, bestselling author Jen Turano delivers a charming story of laughter, love, and adventure during a particularly eventful term at the Merriweather Academy.
