Mary Louise in the Country
Mary Louise in the Country
L. Frank Baum, creator of Oz, turns his gifts for wonder and storytelling to the realm of mystery in this spirited girl detective novel. When Mary Louise Burrows and her grandfather arrive at their summer home in the sleepy town of Cragg's Crossing, they expect peace and quiet. Instead, Mary Louise stumbles into a web of secrets: a reclusive neighbor whose past is shrouded in shadow, a friend trapped under her grandfather's harsh thumb, and whispers of counterfeiting and Irish revolutionary intrigue that threaten to explode into violence. With her keen eyes and fearless curiosity, she begins to unravel truths the adults around her would rather keep buried. The result is a delightful period piece that proves Baum could spin suspense as surely as he could spin magic, and that a determined girl in 1916 could crack cases that baffled the grown-ups.
