Young Samantha Moon

By Sheila Coffee

Twelve-year-old Samantha Moon has a detective agency in her backyard treehouse, a notebook full of solved mysteries, and a flat fee of ten bucks per case.

But nothing can prepare her for the strange symbols, whispering vines, and glowing feathers that start appearing near the edge of the woods. Something old has awakened behind Crater Hill. Something that remembers her name.

When a local boy vanishes and a forgotten stone arch reappears in the forest, Sam and her best friend Jake find themselves unraveling a hidden world of memory trees, lost children, and a garden that feeds on secrets. The deeper they go, the more Sam discovers about her own family, and the eerie legacy she might be destined to inherit.

With creeping roots, flickering visions, and a mystery buried in the soil, this spooky fun supernatural tale is perfect for fans of Coraline, Stranger Things, Nancy Drew... and classic kid detectives with guts and grit.

Can Sam solve the biggest case of her young life before the garden takes something she can't get back?
