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.
