First sentence: It was the last weekend in May, and in room 618 of the Brambles Hotel in Los Angeles, Jess O'Fines was trying to zip up her new shimmery violet sundress without catching the soft flesh around her belly in the zipper.
Description: Twelve-year-old Jess O'Fines is resentful that she is expected to watch her baby niece in a Los Angeles hotel room while the rest of her dysfunctional family go off to a wedding rehearsal party -- but when Baby Ruby disappears, Jess is convinced she knows who kidnapped her and determined to get her back on her own, whatever the danger.
