About This Book
A trio of athletic friends undertake a wintertime adventure after a furtive stranger boards their ice-boat, sparking a fast-paced race with a locomotive and a deeper mystery about a supposedly haunted mine. Their investigations uncover ghostly warnings, a light on a wall, a hidden tunnel, and a hostile gang; attempts to explore lead to entrapment in the mine, a daring escape, and a pursuit that ends in capture and revelation of motives and rewards. The narrative combines sportsmanship, teamwork, and resourceful problem-solving amid suspenseful episodes and physical challenges.
