Everything about this trip to Grandma’s house was different:
First, because of the fire, Mrs. Treski, Evan, and Jessie had driven up to Grandma’s two days after Christmas instead of the day before, missing Christmas with Grandma entirely.
Second, the fire had left a hole in the back kitchen wall big enough to drive a car through! And with Grandma in the hospital and not in her house, everything felt off.
Third, someone had climbed the long, slow slope of Lovell Hill to the top and had stolen the old iron bell hanging on its heavy wooden crossbeam.
Who on earth would steal the New Year’s Bell? And how could Grandma, Mrs.Treski, Evan, Jessie, and their neighbors ring in the New Year without it?
Like a modern-day Beverly Cleary, Ms. Davies writes with heart, humor, and honesty about the inevitability of profound change and reveals just how well she understands the complex emotions of the children.

This is an awesome book!
This is a Series of Lemonade War. The story is continued but I think this is the 3rd book. The main character is still Evan and Jessie. However, they are visiting there grandmother who burned her house with the stove.
it was good and I liked how it was a mystery
Want to read this book. 1&2 were really good!!!!! ;)
After getting this book a few days ago, I think that even if you read the Lemonade War series books out of order, you still will be able to understand it well because the books can stand on their own without prior knowledge. It's more fun to read the books in order, but it doesn't matter since some of the books are part of the series just because of the characters, but not the plot.
My teacher has the series
love it so much
This is honestly a great book to read anytime you have time to read, or free time. All the characters have special personalities, and the characters aren't dull. If you loved the other Lemonade books then you'll also love this book so much! It is one of the best books I've seen in my whole entire life. The title totally fits within the book, "The Bell Bandit" it is perfect, then other than something else like "The Bell Theft". Once you've read like a chapter or so, you're gonna want to read more and more and more!
