Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers. When another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont, Ellingham Academy is evacuated. It is time for Stevie to do something stupid– like stay on the mountain and face the storm– and a murderer. — adapted from jacket.
