About the book
Montgomery and the Case of the Golden Key
It’s 2008, and ten-year-old Montgomery “Monty” Carver is out to find the origin of a golden key found in his Southside Chicago community–which may or may not host the next Olympic games, or supply the next President of the United States, or… have a potential ghost hanging around.
