In 1991, when her daughter’s rare, hand-carved harp wasstolen, Lisby Mayer’s familiar world of science and rationalthinking turned upside down. After the police failed to turn up anyleads, a friend suggested she call a dowser—a man who specializedin finding lost objects. With nothing to lose—and almost as ajoke—Dr. Mayer agreed.

Grade 7 Up–Scott Hudson begins his freshman year of high school as a source of income to Wesley, the school shakedown artist. The girl he's known since kindergarten has blossomed into a goddess, but doesn't seem to know he's alive. He gets roped into writing the sports column for the school newspaper, even though he's not an athlete. On top of everything else, his mom is pregnant. As Scott maneuvers through a number of serious situations—bullying, a suicidal classmate, school dances—he still manages to be upbeat and true to himself. Overloaded with extracurricular activities and honors homework, he begins a journal filled with lists and tips for his expected sibling on how to survive freshman year.

The main narration is more than capably done by Ryan MacConnell as Scott. The rest of the characters are voiced by a variety of actors, adding depth to Scott's ex
