The Golden Boys with the Lumber Jacks

The Golden Boys series predates The Hardy Boys by decades, yet these Maine brothers still deliver the kind of adventure that makes you forget to eat dinner. Bob and Jack Golden are heading home to Skowhegan for Christmas when a blizzard strands them on an isolated road. What begins as a fight against winter becomes a rescue mission, then deepens into something far stranger: their father's logging empire is crumbling. A deed has vanished. A rival claims the land. And in the remote lumber camp, the crew is terrorized by something that visits each night, a ghost, or something pretending to be one. Wyman weaves together detective work, spine-tingling suspense, and good old-fashioned wilderness courage into a story that respects its young audience while never talking down to them. This is adventure fiction as it used to be: inventive, fast-paced, and built on the idea that clever kids can solve problems adults cannot.
