That will be two dollars each,” he added. “Cash only.” Their father turned over six dollars and the man quickly stuck it in a cash box under the counter. Jamie stepped up to look at one of the cases. “This is strange,” she announced to the others. “Take a look at this!” Kendall and their father stepped over to look at the case. Inside was a pair of tattered and dirty panty hose, next to a picture of a young woman. There was also a picture of a rope bridge. Several ropes had been slung across a gorge and wooden slats had been tied to form a length that people could walk on. Find out what the panty hose has to do with the bridge, and whether the story about them is true. See if you can solve this 15-minute mystery before the Brodericks do. Similar to the old Encyclopedia Brown mysteries, these short mysteries give kids all the clues they need to solve the mystery, before revealing the answer on the last page, helping kids learn common sense and attention to detail.
