This was a cute story (from a simpler time) about a family that moves into an inherited apartment building and goes to work fixing it up, and trying to solve a few mysteries in the process.

We recently read Dolphin Adventure: A True Story by Wayne Grover and I realized when I posted my review here that there were two follow-on tales.
