The
series follows the three Barker brothers – Simon, Henry, and Jack – who’ve just
moved from Illinois to Arizona. They are now living in a town with the
Superstition Mountain right next to their new home. Their parents have warned
them not to explore the mountain but when their cat Josie goes missing, they
see no choice. When they discover three human skulls up in the mountain, they
are determined to uncover the mystery. Together with their new neighbor
Delilah, the Barker boys take on mysteries, gold treasure, avalanches and a
creepy librarian.
These
books are fiction but they're based on facts. It’s true that people have
disappeared on the Superstition Mountain and were never heard from again.
Bodies and skeletons have been found, the Legend of the Lost Dutchman’s Gold
Mine, all based on truth. A book is always more interesting with a little bit
of actual history thrown in.
The
greatest thing about these books is that the Superstition Mountain in Arizona
is real. I didn’t now it was a real place until I read the Author’s Note at the
end on Book 1.
I
only found out that this was a series when I found Book 2 and 3 at the library.
I was so happy. I should have known it was a series. The first book kind of
ended in a cliffhanger.
If
you can find all three books and read them all at once, I recommend it.
Sounds like a book that would keep you on the edge of your seat.
