This book is a good book I think this because this is talking about a girl named Moe and and she and her mother are swept away by a hurricane. Moe is adopted and she is going to go on a journey to find her unwashed mother. This is such a good mystery book. You should read it if you have not.

It's called Ghosts at Tupelo Landing. Enjoy!
