A Northwoods Mystery
By Margi Preus
University of Minnesota Press, $11.95
After receiving a strange call from her great aunts in northern Minnesota, 17-year-old Francie decides to leave New York City to investigate the strange happenings on the shores of Enchantment Lake. The mysteries quickly multiply: a poisoned hotdish, a puzzling confession, eerie noises in the bog, and a legendary treasure said to be under enchantment—or is that under Enchantment, as in under the lake? Written by award-winning author Margi Preus, this young adult novel is filled with suspense, humor, charm and surprises.—Breana Roy
