The Treasure of Skull Valley (A Mystery Searchers Book)

A wholesome family mystery series for tweens and teens, 10-15 years
“Oh, I can’t believe it!” Suzanne cried, gulping for air.
Hang on! A treasure map, fluttering out of an old book? Leading to Skull Valley, twelve miles west of Prescott, deep into high desert country? With a message from whomever drew the map? “Please help,” he or she penned.
What could be more thrilling?
A fifty-year old mystery surfaces, decades after it baffled city authorities. And there’s a grieving family too. So many questions. Who and how? When and where? What on earth happened all those years ago?
Will the treasure help solve a mystery forgotten by time? If not, it will be forgotten forever.
The mystery searchers utilize the power and reach of the Internet to trace the movement of people and events. . . half a century earlier!\nInterview with the author
Q - What makes The Mystery Searchers Family Book Series so special?
It’s a mix of things, really. When I started the series, I wanted to integrate the things that I liked as a 10-15 year-old. . . from the 4th or 5th grade all the way into junior high school. I loved mystery books which lead, often, to mystery solving, crime and detective stories, and action and adventure. So I would devour books like the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, or Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five series. I quickly realized that clean, wholesome books were important too, and I’ve integrated that concept in every Mystery Searchers installment.
Q - What order should I read the books in?
I’ve written the series so that you can read them in any order. By the time you finish any one of the books, all the threads will come together.
Q – Are there more installments coming in the series?
None currently planned, but there ARE twelve exciting books in the series to enjoy.
Q - Does the author offer any other clean, wholesome books for this age group?
Yes! The first installment of The Time Travelers Series will be released in July, 2023.
