Missing on Superstition Mountain: Book 1 of the Superstition Mountain Mysteries
When the Barker brothers—Simon, Henry, and Jack—move from Illinois to Arizona, their parents issue one strict rule: stay away from Superstition Mountain. But when their beloved cat Josie disappears, the three brothers must venture onto the forbidden mountain to find her.
What begins as a search for their missing pet quickly transforms into something far more sinister. The mountain holds an eerie presence that the boys can't quite explain. Their discovery of three human skulls confirms their worst fears—something dangerous lurks in these woods, and people have vanished here before.
A Mystery That Demands to Be Solved
Determined to uncover the truth behind the mountain's dark history, the Barker brothers team up with their new neighbor Delilah. Together, they're committed to cracking the case, even if it means putting themselves directly in harm's way. The question remains: who or what is responsible for the disappearances on Superstition Mountain?
