Music, baseball, lost penguins, and murder grip a coastal town in the Pacific Northwest. When Molly Matthissen is arrested for the murder of an FBI agent, she is caught up in a small town legal system that has already determined her guilt. Children and friends from her tight-knit community desperately seek the evidence that will prove her innocence, while protecting penguin climate refugees from a media circus.

4.5
Very well written, with appealing, complex characters, interwoven plots and timely messages about environmental destruction, without being at all preachy. In fact there are lovely bits of sly humor throughout. I suspect people in high school would find it as absorbing as this 76-year-old did. I hope there will be another book that follows the lives of some of the characters, especially the narrator!
