Produktbeschreibung

The Moshers can't prove the mortgage was paid. Granny May had the proof, but her mind is slipping. Will Jimmie's family be homeless? Set in the 1950s, Cora Dubois, Jimmie Mosher and their friends, Laszlo, George, and Ruby, discover they have a talent for getting to the bottom of local mysteries. In this heartwarming, introductory volume you'll meet the children and find out what life was like in their rural county, somewhere "up north." This series consists of early chapter books, with each book moving forward in time by a month. The Secret Cellar takes place in June, 1953, just after school has let out for the summer. Each book includes a "forgotten" craft or skill, and may address social/moral issues of the mid-twentieth century. In The Secret Cellar (Dubois Files book #1), Jimmie's family is in danger of losing their farm to the bank. Old Granny May seems to be trying to tell them something, but maybe she's just losing her mind. Enjoyed by readers ages 6-12.
