Description
No dream is ever too big.
No one thinks Idalee Lovett will ever leave her huge house with the boarded up windows and rooms for rent in smalltown Colby, North Carolina. But Idalee has big dreams, just like her mama. While Mama is on tour for the summer with her cover band, Lovey Lovett and the Junkyard Dogs, Idalee decides to hone her craft as a songwriter- since her truest wish is to hear her country western songs on the radio one day.
It would make things even sweeter if she could buy the shiny blue guitar from the local music shop. Idalee doesn't have much money but she knows exactly how to get it. With the help of her new friends Odell, Howard, Charlie, and a little dog called Wishbone, Idalee searches for hidden treasure in her family house and finds herself along the way.
