Mystery Back of the Mountain - Outdoor Adventure Novel for Adults | Perfect for Camping, Hiking & Nature Exploration

When an uncle leaves his old Maine house to the Ward family, Anne and her brother Stephen find they have walked straight into a mystery. The puzzle has its roots in the disappearance of a beautiful girl long in the past. When a valuable portrait is taken from their house and they hear strange howlings in the night, Anne—who has never been able to keep up with her brother -- proves her own ingenuity in helping to find the solution to the mystery."Mary C. Jane has a particularly intriguing way with a mystery for 8 to 10s. Her characters ring true and human relationships are as important as the mystery." —The Chicago Tribune"A mysterious wail, a missing portrait, a message on a tombstone—these are just a few of the ingredients in a spine-tingling tale which reaches its climax with a startling discovery. It can be enjoyed by girls odler than the group for which it was written (ages 8-10)." —The Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, NY)
