This is Green Gables.

...and...

This is an over-view of Zoe Lucky's story...

When Zoe's Dad, a policeman, is killed in a shoot-out, Zoe and her Mom move from their country home to the university town of Oakland -- a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. Shortly after they settle into their apartment, Zoe sees the newspaper photo of the Oakland burglar and she recognizes the escapee. To add to the drama, Zoe's mom is working night turn and Zoe is facing her home alone fears.

Zoe receives Paki, a plucky African Gray parrot, for her 13th birthday. He helps her set aside her fears and meet new friends. Toby, a blue-eyed charmer, shows Zoe around Oakland: the Cathedral of Leaning, Heinz Chapel, Soldiers and Sailors Museum, and the Carnegie Complex with library, museums and music hall.Toby is her sidekick through some spine-tingling adventures. With her first kiss, Toby is her first love.

Miss Jahari, Zoe's upstairs neighbor, is a professor of African Studies at PITT and invites Zoe, Paki and Toby to one of her classes at the Cathedral of Learning.

Because their apartment building is painted a pukey pea soup color, Zoe names it Green Gables. The burglar breaks into Green Gables, not once – but twice. Mom is ready to pack up and move; however, Zoe has started to like the 'Burg and pleads with her mom to stay.

Toby and Miss Jahari help Zoe put together pieces of the Green Gables' burglaries. Clues and suspects are coming out of the woodwork. BUT – will Zoe be able to solve the mystery before the burglar makes his final return.
