The Franklin Trees

Adventure and Mystery for Young Adults (6th grade and up). School seemed to begin as usual for Jim Canby and Alan Prince--until Eric Jewett walked late into class. Eric lived alone with his old aunt in Bailiwyck Mansion; and when Jim and Alan visited, they were drawn inescapably into the house's mystery: magical trees, eerie darkened rooms, and a ghost. But none of these adventures could prepare the boys for how their third visit would end.

"A tale of three sixth-grade boys quickly accelerates into a gripping page-turner that will captivate readers young and old." Tom Lickona, Professor of Education, State University of New York at Cortland "Accurate and vivid descriptions of our region's landscape." John Rowen, Kaatskill Life
