Rosa Cortez has untangled a lot of knots in her life, but nothing as frustrating as the mystery next door. She keeps hearing and seeing suspicious sounds and lights at the Old McLurvey house, empty now for the last two years. Every time Rosa and her friends investigate, the answers roll out of reach like a loose yarn ball.

It doesn't help things that her own home is bursting at the seams, stuffed with siblings, parents, grandparents, and more. But when she meets Daisy, the cousin to another Crafty Girl on Hobby Lane, with ten siblings herself, Rosa doesn't feel so small anymore. She longs to connect with Daisy but Daisy lives too far away.

If only Rosa and her crafty friends could tie up the loose ends next door and find a way for Daisy to join their club. Can Rosa and the Crafty Girls follow the trail of dropped stitches to unravel the secrets of the McLurvey house? Can Rosa find her spot in a crowded, cozy family?

A new Crafty Girls Cozy Mystery as chilling as an autumn wind and a solution as comfy as knitted scarves and warm tamales.
