Summary:
In 2008 Chicago, in the Southside community of Washington Park,
Montgomery
"Monty" Carver has hopes for the best summer ever! Unfortunately, things aren't going as planned. Monty is struggling to prove to his parents that he's old enough to be without supervision -- especially after a very embarassing incident with a metal detector. Man! So when Monty finds a
golden
key
in Old Lady Jenkins's sunflowers, he decides he's going to unravel the
key
's mystery all by himself, thank you very much. No parents allowed. Besides, he's ten years old now, and he's mastered the perfectly round 'fro! (It takes a protractor, you see.) Soon Monty's hunt to determine the origin of the
key
leads him to discover the rich history -- like famous Black jockeys! -- of his Chicago community, which has been speculating its future since one of their residents, Barack Obama, is running for president and the Olympics might come to town in 2016. On top of all that speculating, there are rumors going around that a ghost is hanging out behind their apartment building, and that Manty's elementary school may have to close. So much to solve! Should the Olympics come to Washington Park? What happens if his school closes? IS there really a ghost? And where, oh where, did the
key
come from anyway? Monty is determined to find out.
In 2008 South Side Chicago, ten-year-old
Montgomery
"Monty" Carver's hunt to find the origins of a mysterious
golden
key
leads him to discover the rich history of his community.
