    "description": "<p>Every year, Yorktown, Virginia, relives its role in the Revolutionary War by celebrating the anniversary of the British surrender in 1781. This year, plans include a re-enactment of the original battle and a colonial craft fair. Meg Langslow has returned to her home town for the festivities &ndash; and to sell her wrought-iron works of art. Except, of course, for the pink-painted flamingos she reluctantly made for her mother's best friend &ndash; she's hoping to deliver them secretly, so she won't get a reputation as \"the blacksmith who makes those cute wrought-iron flamingos.\" Besides, she has taken on another responsibility &ndash; making sure none of her fellow crafters ruin the historical authenticity of the fair with forbidden modern devices &ndash; like wrist watches, calculators, or cell phones. She's only doing it to keep peace with the mother of the man she loves. And Michael himself will don the white-and-gold uniform of a French officer for the re-enactment &ndash; what actor could resist a role like that? Meg's also trying to keep her father from scaring too many tourists with his impersonation of an 18th century physician. And to prevent a snooping reporter from publishing any stories about local scandals. Not to mention saving her naive brother, Rob, from the clutches of a con man who might steal the computer game he has invented. It's a tough job &ndash; at least, until the swindler is found dead, slain in Meg's booth with one of her own wrought-iron creations. Now Meg must add another item to her already lengthy to do list: \"Don't forget to solve the murder!\" Fortunately, the more trouble Meg faces, the more fun the reader will have &ndash; and Meg faces plenty of trouble in this lighthearted and funny novel.</p>",
