I mean it's bad enough that she has to live illegally in a seniors-only building with her grandmother. And worse that she witnessed a burglary in progress--and that the thief saw her. And worse still that nosy neighbor Mrs. Graybill is onto her, and that she thinks the thief is after her. Can she solve the crime, before things get worse?
