Details

Most people find their neighbors boring. Neighborhood spies Annie and Natalie-code names Elvis and Olive-know better. As Annie puts it: "Even the most dull-looking people do all kinds of weird, interesting things when they think no one's watching." Clarissa Jackson, for example, plants fake flowers in her garden; Virginia Brooks, a former television actress, eats face cream. Spying, both girls agree, is the most fun they've ever had- until, that is, they inadvertently discover big secrets about each other.

At first, Natalie doesn’t know what to make of Annie, who tells her unbelievable stories about everything from her mother’s death to being in a movie. The girls couldn’t be more different: Natalie does what’s expected of her and doesn’t take risks while Annie is outgoing and couldn’t care less about appearances. Still, the two soon become fast friends. Calling each other by their code names, Elvis and Olive, they roam their community peeking into backyards and windows and then sharing their discoveries. However, the fun turns from harmless to hurtful when certain, very personal, secrets are unexpectedly revealed, and Natalie must search her heart for a way to ask for—and grant—forgiveness.
