Nora loves everything about Paris, from the Eiffel Tower to chocolat chaud. Of course, she's never actually been there -- she's only visited through her Grandma Sylvia's stories. And just when they've finally planned a trip together, Grandma Sylvia is suddenly gone, taking Nora's dreams with her. Nora is crushed. She misses her grandmother terribly, but she still wants to see the city they both loved. So when Nora finds letters and a Paris treasure map among her Grandma Sylvia's things, she dares to dream again . . . She's not sure what her grandma wants her to find, but Nora knows there are wonderful surprises waiting for her in Paris. And maybe, amongst the croissants and macarons, she'll even find a way to heal her broken heart.

From School Library Journal:
Gr 5–7—Nora has always loved Paris. During her weekly visits with her beloved grandmother Sylvia, they discuss the best shops, foods, shopping, and sightseeing in the City of Light. Just months before their first trip together for Nora's 12th birthday, Sylvia is hit by a car and dies. While cleaning up her home, Nora discovers a trunk with a locked box, three plane tickets to Paris and a treasure hunt-seven sealed envelopes addressed to Nora and a map of Paris with six pink dots. After some convincing, Nora's mother, Faye, long estranged from Sylvia, agrees to the trip. On their first day in Paris, Nora secretly embarks on the treasure hunt. At the first location she is dismayed to discover that she can not receive the treasure without her mother. After encountering the same circumstance at several other places, she comes clean and reveals the truth to her mother. A light and frothy Parisian adventure with hints of emotional heft. Nora's grief and connection with her mother are dealt with deftly and tied up neatly by the end. This quick read will appeal to Francophiles and reluctant readers alike.—Kefira Phillipe, Nichols Middle School, Evanston, IL
