Rachel's parents are missionaries. Charlie's mother died years ago, but Rachel envies Charlie for having one parent around. Rachel gets Charlie to help sell band candy for her. Twice selling the candy gets Charlie into trouble. Both times old ladies are involved.
One of those old ladies is very strange. Charlie met her at a house everyone says is empty. She thinks Charlie must be his grandfather's brother. No one believes Charlie met her.
Charlie is ashamed of his dad, a shame that deepens when his father's hot temper costs him his job. It's enough to make Charlie want to leave town. Before he goes, he's going to get proof that the strange old lady is real. When he meets her again, she looks younger.
Cousin Rachel wants to be the Sunbonnet Queen in the 4th of July parade. The not-so-old lady claims she's the real Sunbonnet Queen. There's something about that contest that bothers Charlie's grandmother. Could it be connected with that strange woman? Charlie manages to get Rachel to believe him, but even that goes wrong.
Charlie fears Rachel is in terrible danger. Why won't anyone listen to him? Is Charlie right? Oh, yes. Can Rachel be saved? ( )
