Rowley Peters and the Lumberjack Ghost
by Carol L. Paur
A campground full of ghosts?
When Rowley Peters goes camping with her family at Black Hawk State Park, she learns it’s the site of mummy excavations, ghostly frog behavior, and the legendary lumberjack ghost Chicken McGee. Rowley never liked camping, but when her best friend, Huey, and her family join them she’s stuck facing these spooky creatures.
With frogs to follow, copper antiquities to learn about, and Chicken McGee’s axe to dodge, Rowley and Huey realize there’s something more dangerous at the campground than ghosts. Unfortunately, following the clues leads them in different temper-flaring directions.
Solving the mystery of Chicken McGee might just be the only way to save their friendship.

Boy With a Fife
Ebenezer Fletcher's War of Independence
by Elizabeth Raum
For Liberty!
As a young lad, Ebenezer Fletcher played war games with other boys in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. In April 1775, his life changed forever when British soldiers attacked the towns of Lexington and Concord. Shots were fired. Men died.
War was no longer a child’s game.
When the New Ipswich militia responded to the attack, thirteen-year-old Ebenezer joined them, playing his fife on the long march to Boston and beyond. During the next few years, Eb faced dangers and hardships in battle and at home. Courage and determination never deserted him. Through it all, he remained focused on his goal—Liberty.
This is his story.
Based on the autobiography of Ebenezer Fletcher.
Spring 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the “Shot heard ’round the world.”
