Lemonade.

Corn dogs.

Strawberry shortcake.

Veggies?

The Bloomsberry Cucumber Festival is under way, and Lindy plans to avoid all vegetables, as usual. But then she ends up with a plateful of Granny Goose's slimy, disgusting stewed cucumbers.

And a mystery.

How did a valuable stolen locket end up buried in cucumber sludge?

Granny Goose is a wacky lady, but Lindy knows she'd never steal from anyone. So, with best friend Margaret and know-it-all Gus Kinnard, Lindy sets out to find out who's behind the frame-up.

Can the threesome work together? And can they untangle the mess of clues fast enough to save Granny Goose—and collect a hefty reward?
