The Mystery at Moz Hollow
NOVEL, MIDDLE GRADE (RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 9-11)
Emma Sleigh and her best friend Laura Sorsby travel to Moz Hollow, a mansion in northern Minnesota where Emma’s mother will be providing catering services to the crew filming the movie Faded Tapestry.
Things aren’t going so well for Emma right now - her father died a few months ago, and her grades have been slipping. Her mother doesn’t know it yet, but Emma might have to go to summer school.
During a visit with Isobel Walker, the elderly owner of Moz Hollow, Emma discovers an unsolved scavenger hunt based on the items listed on a holiday menu that is over 60 years old. Emma, Laura, and their new friend Raza Mehta face danger in the northern wilderness and from those who want the treasure (whose secret is linked to the menu) for themselves.
