Hero has just moved to a new place and seem to be not the odd girl out. She hates her name and her classmates make a joke that their dog is name Hero. But then she goes next door to Mrs. Roth. Then, Mrs. Roth tells a story of the missing "Murphy Diamond" and is missing inside where Hero is staying. The rest of the necklace is found by Mrs. Roth. Danny comes into the picture and is intrigued at the mystery. He and Hero make a point to find the diamond. During their discovery, they also find some many other secrets too.

Danny was wonderful and was very mannered. He was a great friend to Hero and their relationship was wonderful. Hero, on the other side, was well-played and I can understand her situation. Her curiosity set the whole stage in this book.

I read this book when it was standing there in my sister's shelf of books. Thought it was interesting and picked it up. The story grabbed me right at the beginning. It left me if they were going to find it and all the history in this book that was so interesting. Who knew history and a mystery fitted so well?! This must be the best mystery book I have ever read!

wonderful.

(psst... i thought Danny was very dreamy :P)
