Twelve-year-old Mary Frances “Frankie” Jackson has been sent to California for the summer to live on a houseboat with her Aunt Roxy. There’s one catch—she can’t get in trouble, or it’s back to New Jersey and juvenile detention camp. Too bad that days after arriving at the houseboat community, Frankie is accused of animal cruelty (killing a cat) and has two weeks to prove her innocence. In the process, she gets to know all the eccentrics on the dock.

When Sam Parsons’ great uncle Buster dies, the 12-year-old’s world is turned upside down. His mother drags him away from his friends to a remote North Carolina town to see to Uncle Buster’s funeral arrangements. Sam soon suspects that Uncle Buster’s death was not caused by a heart attack, but by something more sinister. From the aunt who is in a hurry to sell Uncle Buster’s property to real estate developers, to the shady neighbor and even the lady who delivered Uncle Buster’s meals, the potential suspects are abundant. How can Sam prove what happened and who did it?

Frankie didn't do it, but who amongst her houseboat neighbors did? Can she catch the culprit with the help of a former TV star and a not-so-friendly German shepherd?
