Book Description
Danger: Dynamite! is the first book in a mystery series based on a page from American history, featuring a trio of mischievous and determined young crime solvers. Everyone in the isolated town of Scenic knows that railway workers are using dynamite to blast an eight-mile train tunnel through the Cascade Mountains. A case of dynamite is found near the schoolhouse, even though explosives aren't allowed inside the camp town where the workers and their families live. Before the source can be found, the crate disappears! Ten-year-old Billy and his best friend Finn want to find out who stole the dynamite and what they plan to do with it. The boys' search leads them back to a thirty-year-old gold robbery—and face to face with a dangerous outlaw who will stop at nothing to retrieve his treasure. This fast-paced historical series offers young readers a satisfying mystery, well-drawn characters, and an authentic portrait of the rough and tumble life of a western camp town in the 1920s.
