Montgomery and the case of the golden key / Tracy Occomy Crowder. by Crowder, Tracy Occomy. Tu Books, an imprint of Lee & Low Books Inc., 2023. Call #: FICTION CRO Subjects Locks and keys -- Juvenile fiction.   Communities -- Juvenile fiction.   Blacks -- Juvenile fiction.   Chicago (Ill.) -- Juvenile fiction. ISBN:  9781643795171 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  296 p. ; 20 cm. 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. Audience:  Ages 9-13.
