Discover the exciting story of Noah Baker who attended a Young Authors Conference
and became so intrigued with Calamity Jan's ghost town mysteries
that he and his family began visiting each ghost town and absorbing the local history. |
 The freaky ghost appears to live on the second floor of the old hotel in the ghost town of Nighthawk, and Meggie wouldn't be caught dead up there if her best friend
didn't need her help. Paige is trapped in an abandoned well, and Meggie must
make a rope from the ragged curtains hanging in the windows and rescue her.
In the frantic process, a curtain rod collapses on Meggie's head. Stunned,
Meggie picks up a crumpled note that falls out of the rusty old rod and finds
the clue they believe will lead them to the treasure. In a race against time,
Meggie and Paige follow the clues that lead to the legendary **Haggerty gold, clues that send them wandering through Nighthawk and the Similikameen River Valley.
 But why are the pain-in-the-neck kid, Jay Paul Leeberg, and an old man named Julian
Cooksey following them? When they find themselves trapped in the Nighthawk
Mine, they learn the shocking truth about the gold, the Ghost of Nighthawk,
and the old man. In a surprising episode, old Julian Cooksey finds his
missing daughter, a child whose message had been hidden in the curtain rod
forty years before.
Discovering the clue--and then uncovering
Cassie's treasure--leads the Ghostowners and the old man to something far more
valuable than gold. It changes all of their lives forever.
**The actual James Haggerty, involved in a shady mine transaction and
scandal, asked to be buried at Nighthawk. Locals still search for his grave. > > > More Nighthawk, Washington Photos
