Coltan, or “blue gold,” is a rare mineral used in making cell phones and computers. Across continents, the lives of three teen girls are affected by the “blue gold” trade. Sylvie’s family had to flee the Democratic Republic of the Congo after her father was killed by a rogue militia gang in the conflict for control of coltan. The refugee camp where she now lives is deplorable, and Sylvie yearns for a way out—to save not only herself, but her remaining family. Laiping labors in a Chinese factory, soldering components for cell phones. She had left her small village to make her fortune, but the factory conditions are crushing, and the constant pressure to send money home adds to her misery. Yet when Laiping tries to improve her situation, she sees what happens to those who dare question the electronics company’s policies. Fiona is a North American girl who, in one thoughtless moment, takes a picture on her cell phone she comes to regret. In the aftermath, she learns not only about trust and being true to oneself, but the importance of fighting for what is right. All three teens are unexpectedly linked by these events.

But it's a matter of hours before they get acquainted with the tenants of an old mansion across the way- Stephen, Kate and old Aunt Matilda Jessup whose plight, lack of funds for necessary upkeep, sends all concerned into a wild hunt for jewelry hidden years ago by a pet monkey of the Jessup's sea-going grandfather. Baby sitting, earning money for a new stove for Aunt Matilda, cleaning the old house, make this the many sided kind of story that's fun to read.

The one building that wasn’t torn down to make room for modern little houses is the sprawling old Sea View House, where a cranky old lady is supposed to live. Imagine their surprise when they discover the old lady is nice—and she lives there with her niece and nephew, who are about Peter and Jane’s age! Though the Bowmans and the Jessups start off on the wrong foot, the four are soon fast friends. And when money problems threaten Sea View House, the only hope is for the four of them to solve a decades-old mystery and find a long-lost treasure!
