Part of Sisterhood, book 29
First published 2018
Isabelle Flanders Tookus meets a curly-haired boy at her neighborhood park and discovers he's Ben Ryan, an eight-year-old genius living in terrible circumstances. Ben's mother died, leaving him with a stepfather and his wife who drain Ben's trust fund to finance their expensive lifestyle while neglecting the boy completely. When the stepfather's wife grows more greedy, Ben faces real danger. Isabelle contacts the Sisterhood, but they must first locate Eleanor Lymen, Ben's millionaire grandmother who has disappeared on her own secret mission. Eleanor had hired Isabelle years earlier to design an institute for gifted children. The Sisters gather at Pinewood, ready to unite once more for their cause. Together, Isabelle, Annie, Myra, and the rest of the team devise an elaborate plan to protect Eleanor's grandson and place him in the loving home he deserves. The Sisterhood will deliver their signature brand of creative justice to those who exploit innocent children.
