Charlie Tickler has been unceremoniously dumped with his sedentary, tv-obsessed grandparents in the village of Castle-on-the-Hudson while his parents are off to South Africa to save giant golden moles. Castle-on-the-Hudson may not have cell phone or internet service, but it does have murder, intrigue, and a School for the Deaf. Lonely and bored, Charlie decides to visit the library, where he meets an elderly woman who looks frightened as she tries to tell him something. But Charlie doesn't understand, and when the woman disappears, he searches for an answer.
The answer comes by way of Frog-a local girl who is deaf. Frog reveals the woman's desperate message to Charlie: dead. Charlie has no idea what this could mean, but Frog jumps at the chance to solve a real life mystery, just like her favorite fictional detective character, Dorrie McCann.
Now, Charlie must learn American Sign Language to keep up with quick-witted Frog. He soon discovers new ways to communicate while also forging a lasting friendship with the incomparable Frog.
