  Thirteen-year-old Noah thought a winter break trip to his aunt and uncle’s house would mean snowball fights and hot cocoa, but a harmless sledding trip to the local state park unearths a chilling secret. 
  For sixty years, a nearby reservoir has held a dark truth beneath its icy surface. Now, angry spirits stir, their vengeful trickery spilling into the small Pennsylvania town. 
  Noah and friends find themselves tangled in a web of ghostly whispers and a community desperate to bury the past. 
  Can the kids unravel the secrets the town is hiding and stop the ghosts? 
  Don't miss this chilling story perfect for ages 9-12. 
  Follow this unforgettable adventure of three unlikely sleuths, filled with small town winter adventures and chilling snowstorms. 
  No graphic violence or language. 
  "A wonderful addition to a family favorite series. Aimed for older elementary children, it is a novel for independent readers higher third grade and above. Each book is a stand-alone with the same characters, so start today with The Whispering Woods. Highly recommend. Intriguing without being overly scary, gory, or having offensive language that you would prefer that your kids not read." 
  "I love how they come up with a solution to the problem. Nice plot twist. Love the ending. Great characters that the reader can connect with."

  A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
