How can his school in the little town of Plattsford stay open next year if there are going to be only five students? Out here on the Great Plains in western Nebraska, everyone understands that if you lose the school, you lose the town.
But the mystery that has Ted's full attention at the moment is about that face, the face he sees in the upper window of the Andersons' house as he rides past on his paper route. The Andersons moved away two years ago, and their old farmhouse is empty, boarded up tight. At least it's supposed to be.
A shrinking school in a dying town. A face in the window of an empty house. At first these facts don't seem to be related. But Ted Hammond learns that in a very small town, there's no such thing as an isolated event. And the solution of one mystery is often the beginning of another.

Jas said, 'Well, what happened?'
And I said, 'Well, it was beyond marvy. We talked and snogged and then he made me a sandwich and we snogged and then he played me a record and then we snogged.'
'So it was like...'
'Yeah... a snogging fest.'
'Sacré bleu!'
Jas looked like she was thinking which is a) unusual and b) scary.
I said, 'But then this weird thing happened. He had his hands on my waist, standing behind me.'
'Oo-er...'
'D-accord. Anyway, I turned round and he sort of leaped out of the way like two short leaping things.'
'Was he dancing?'
'No... I think he was frightened of being knocked out by my nunga-nungas...'
Then we both laughed like loons on loon tablets (i.e. A LOT).
