The Mystery of Camp Tamarack
The Mystery of Camp Tamarack

Lights over the lake every night at eleven, and every morning another canoe is gone.

Camp Tamarack has run every summer on the shore of Loon Lake for sixty years, and it may not run another: the bank wants to sell it to a resort developer at the end of August. Then strange green lights start appearing over the water at eleven every night, and each morning one more canoe has vanished from the boathouse. The campers think it is the ghost of the camp's founder. A counselor, the camp cook, the lifeguard and the director's kid suspect something far more ordinary and far more interesting, and they have three weeks to find it.
