Saralee Siegel (Book Five)
The Secret of the Scent Map

Aunt Lotte has vanished, leaving behind a mysterious "smell map." Only Saralee and her super-nose can follow the clues!

​​

The Siegel family is busy preparing for Passover, but Aunt Lotte isn’t helping! After a heated argument over ruined horseradish, Aunt Lotte vanishes, leaving only a strange map made of tiny perfume vials.

​

With her best friend Harold by her side, Saralee uses her extraordinary sense of smell to decode the map and track Aunt Lotte. Along the way, she uncovers a surprising truth about her aunt’s past—one that helps Saralee better understand her own unique gifts and where she truly belongs.
