The Lost Treasure of Tuckernuck (25 page)

Sonya Sones

EMILY FAIRLIE
grew up in Virginia and went to Tuckahoe Middle School, which, unlike Tuckernuck Hall, was sadly lacking in hidden clues and treasure. She was also the proud owner of a family of gerbil escape artists with a taste for blood (and sunflower seeds). She now lives in Chicago with her dog, Binky.
