Brothers Sam and Derek and their friends are on the hunt for mystery and adventure through caves, graveyards, abandoned islands, secret passageways and more. Part Magic Tree House, part Hardy Boys, these adventures are sure to keep young readers age 7-12 on the edge of their seats. Mixed into the stories are historical people and places including the American Revolution and the Civil War that kids and parents will find fascinating.
Summer of the Woods – When young brothers Derek and Sam move with their family to Virginia, they have no idea what adventures the summer will bring. As the boys explore their creaky and the deep surrounding woods, they uncover the mystery of a valuable coin collection stolen from the local museum sixty years earlier. Join the boys as they spend their summer running from danger and searching the woods, secret caves, rushing waters, and hidden passageways for treasure and the rare 1877 Indian Head cent coin!
Mystery on Church Hill – Brothers Sam and Derek have a knack for uncovering mystery and adventure. When they visit Richmond’s St. John’s Church for a reenactment of Patrick Henry’s famous liberty speech, they stumble upon a hidden piece of history. As the boys and their friends dig deeper, they find clues from America’s founding fathers and a secret plot to steal a treasure from our nation’s past. Join in the mystery as the search races from the cemeteries of Richmond to the streets of Colonial Williamsburg.
Ghosts of Belle Isle – Legend says that the haunting lights over the rapids on the James River at night are the ghosts of long-dead soldiers still fighting the Civil War. Just past the water lies historic Belle Isle, the former Union soldier prisoner-of-war camp, now a city park filled with crumbling ruins and dark wooded trails. When brothers Sam and Derek explore the island and local monuments to Richmond’s past on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War with their friend Caitlin, some ghosts may be more alive than they expected! Join the adventure as the kids face their fears and a confederate biker gang led by the notorious Mad Dog DeWitt. Along the way they’ll explore the island, suspended bridges, hidden hideouts, and secret graveyard ceremonies, while learning about Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and more.
