Miss Dimple Rallies to the Cause

September, 1943. As the second year of World War II draws to a close, h residents of the small town of Elderberry, Georgia, are doing their best to support the war effort. The upcoming war bond rally—complete with pageant and parade—has everyone brimming with excitement, including the no-nonsense Miss Dimple Kilpatrick, who has taught the town's first graders for decades, and fellow teachers Charlie Carr and her best friend, Annie.

But when Annie discovers a skeleton during a school field trip and then Buddy Oglesby—who helped plan the rally—disappears along with the war bond money, it's clear that something is amiss. "If Miss Dimple can't get to the bottom of it, I don't know who can," Annie declares, as Miss Dimple accepts the challenge to put things right.
