Room One: A Mystery or Two

Sixth-grader Ted Hammond is a master of mysteries. He reads two or three a week and solves most of them midway through the book. So Ted jumps at the chance to explore a real-life mystery in his tiny town. In the abandoned Anderson farmhouse, he sees what looks like a girl's face in the attic window: ". . . she'd pulled back into the shadow just as he rode past and glanced her way. She hadn't wanted to be seen." Is it a ghost or a real person? Winner of the 2007 Edgar Allan Poe Award.
