characters story

The small town of Tupelo Landing wouldn’t be the
same without rising sixth grader Mo LoBeau. Mo was
called the miracle child because she was found floating
in the worst hurricane according to history, but she
calls it being lucky. Ever since, she has been looking for
her upstream mother. The Colonel found Mo in a baby
blanket while crashing into a stop light since then his
memory has been fading. The Colonel and Miss Lana
adopted Mo 11 years ago. Miss Lana has a fascinating
personality. Everyday she wears a wig and runs the
café with a theme, she also can’t drive.
Three Times Lucky story

A murder happened in Winston-Salem and also in
Tupelo Landing. The victim was Mr. Jesse, he was a
crabby old man who didn’t believe in giving tips at the
café. When Deputy Marla and Detective Joe Starr
connected this murder to the one in Winston-Salem the
town was shocked. Mo and Dale are the Desperados
something like an investigator. Later on in the story, Mo
suspects something is up with Deputy Marla because
every time someone speaks of a possible suspect she
blushes.

Tupelo Landing then he recognizes him, Slate. Slate was
known around town as a “trouble maker.” Wondering why
he was there, the Colonel went back to the café to tell

Thornton was especially shocked. Mo thought long and
hard about Slate’s past then figured he was the murderer.
Mo and Dale came together everyday to come up with clues

day and saw the whole house ransacked with a note on the
