Will Martin had never been able to resist a good mystery. Perhaps it was his own near-death experience due to his Type 1 diabetes that fueled his enthusiasm.
Often he and his buddy, Pete, entertained themselves by playing out such fantasy adventures in the forest and back edges of his family's farm. It was great fun-- until the fateful day that Will and Pete stumbled upon a real-life incident of blood and treachery which threatened to bring even their own young lives to an abrupt end. Suddenly, life and death hung by a thread of secrecy, and it all came down to--could the boys keep their mouths shut?
School used to be a challenge for my grandson. When I saw him becoming increasingly discouraged I decided to try to stimulate his creativity. He doesn't like to read, but he has plenty of story ideas. So, we began to scope out our storyline for a suspenseful, scary, mystery with "lots of survival stuff" in it. A year later, we finished our project and school work began to soar.
We'd love to get your feedback, too.
Hope you bring Secrets of the Stone Wall home to your reading shelf.
