It's picture day at Strangeville School and 5th grader Harvey, along with his friend Stella and classmate Nevaeh are involved in another adventure. Although Nevaeh assures them that curses aren't real, the mysterious lost and found box has certainly seemed to be the source of the latest troubles at the school. 

Brett Helquist's illustrations are the icing on the cake in this series, really bringing everything to life. I really think that the adults will appreciate this as much as the kids do, I certainly got many great laughs at the crazy things that happen. Don't visit the nurse, or eat the food in the cafeteria, and by all means, don't take anything from the lost and found box that isn't yours!
