The Discovery in the Old Mine (Preteen Reader)

Publisher Marketing: Jan and Jenny are off to summer camp at Camp Cuyamaca in the mountains of Julian, California. Although they think they are merely gong to camp to learn about forest survival techniques and to have some fun, things do not turn out exactly as the two girls planned. Once again they call on Mr. and Mrs. Hufflefinger (and the FBI) for help; and of course Ms. Wright, the Assistant U. S. Federal Prosecutor is there to help them as well. However, mostly (as things would have it) the two precocious, self-sufficient girls end up helping each other and themselves, with a few mishaps and embarrassments along the way. Find out what the two girls find when they get lost one afternoon and are forced to take shelter in an old abandoned gold mine, and why this time, because of what they found, they rightfully fear for their lives. Celebrate the promise that true friendship brings, and discover what it means not only to be a true hero, but also what it means to be a true friend. Written by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan and twenty year veteran court reporter, Pamela Hillan, who happen to be lifelong friends, this is a real nail-biting, exciting adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next!
