When Meg's grandmother Cordelia hosts a Renaissance Faire at her craft center, the whole family is put to work: Meg handles the blacksmithing, Michael and the boys will be performing, and everyone dresses up in full regalia. Thrilled to find a pair of rare falcons at the fairground, Grandfather appoints himself their protector. When one of the actors performing at the fair is found dead—an actor suspected of mistreating one of the birds—Grandfather is a prime suspect, and Meg's 27th case (following Owl Be Home for Christmas) turns out to be a personal one.
