About This Book

A boy and his friends spend a camping season near an old, derelict mill and become embroiled in a local mystery after strange noises, disappearances, and a midnight visitor. They face mechanical setbacks, tense searches, and confrontations with an isolated hermit while investigating hidden passages and a secret room within the mill. Their plans, narrow escapes, and methodical discoveries lead to the uncovering of concealed treasure and the resolution of the mill’s mysteries. The story blends outdoor adventure, suspenseful exploration, and youthful camaraderie across episodic chapters of schemes, discoveries, and peril.
