 The ghost town of Shaniko, Oregon wasn't supposed to be dangerous, but the
howling going on in the old Shaniko School night after night tells Meggie and
Paige otherwise. A ghost? They are terrified when threatening messages begin
appearing on the chalk board in the school, warning them to leave.
 In this fast-paced mystery, the Ghostowners find themselves being stalked by the
shadow, trapped in Shaniko's huge wool barn--a warehouse once known as the
biggest wool barn in the world. Teaming up with Gabe Stackpole, a Native
American runaway from the Warm Springs Reservation, the truth begins to
emerge from the shadows.
Caught between the ghost, the Bushtn, and the feared
**Whipman, they realize they may have walked into a trap. The terrible howling
returns as the truth creeps out of the Shadow of Shaniko.
An important multicultural message about color and diversity weaves its way through this fast-paced
mystery in a natural and heartwarming way. And there's also an important message for young people caught up in the conflict of a broken home.
** The Whipman was a Native American tribesman chosen to administer public whipping on many reservations before 1930. Although rare, this public
punishment is occasionally employed today. > > > More Shaniko, Oregon Photos
