The Secret of Silver Peak

What was the answer to the strangely puzzling mystery of the open mineshaft on the mountain? What could the solution be--the solution in which, Cynthia knew, Old Goaty the recluse, and Two-Tooth Tomas with his unpleasant grin, and the mysterious miner who rubbed dirt into his hair were all concerned. Somewhere, somewhere there must be an answer which would bring order out of all the confusion in which even her dearly-loved friend Alaan seemed somehow to be involved. And as if the threat of the unsolved puzzle were not enough, there was Cynthia's responsibility as the inheritor of her grandfather's angora goat herd--the problem of the missing ram; the dwindling, sickly flock. How Cynthia bravely met her responsibility and how she and Aalan together answered the questions and straightened out the tangled threads of the exciting mystery you will read in this thrilling story by one of your favorite authors.
