Welcome back to the charming town of Hollyville! If you loved the festive capers in "Cookies, Cocoa, and Christmas Mysteries," get ready for a brand-new, standalone adventure that takes the Hollyville Sleuths on their most challenging and thrilling case yet.
After solving every holiday puzzle Hollyville had to offer, best friends Ellie, Max, and Ruby stumble upon a forgotten, walled-off garden hidden deep in the Winter Woods. It's a place of crumbling walls, a silent, ancient water pump, and a secret that has been buried for generations. But they're not the only ones interested in the garden. A shadowy figure is trying to keep them out, and the friends soon realize this isn't just a simple case-it's a race to uncover a town secret before it's lost forever.
What's Inside This Unforgettable Adventure?
A Gripping, Book-Long Mystery: Unlike the short stories in the first book, this is a single, page-turning plot that will keep readers hooked from the first clue to the final, shocking revelation.
A Mysterious New Setting: Explore the enchanting and spooky Sunken Garden, a place filled with riddles, history, and the legend of a magical flower.
New Friends and Challenges: Meet Leo, a brilliant new member of the team whose scientific knowledge is crucial to the case. The Sleuths will need all the help they can get!
Puzzles and Riddles to Solve: From a cryptic message on a stone plaque to the secrets hidden in a gardener's lost journal, kids can solve the clues right alongside the detectives.
Powerful Lessons on Teamwork and Courage: This story beautifully explores the importance of friendship, facing your fears, and standing up for what's right, even when it's hard.
