We’re excited to tell you about our lower middle grade mystery, Rowley Peters and the Lumberjack Ghost by Carol L. Paur. It’s a fun story filled with simple spookiness and friendship. Here’s the back cover blurb.
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.
