The Treasure of Panther Peak
by Aileen Kilgore Henderson
Big Bend National Park provides fertile ground for a mother and
daughter's new beginning in this absorbing novel from the award-winning
author of Summer of the Bonepile Monster and The Monkey Thief.
...It's
the 1950s and Page Williams has just moved to West Texas with her
mother, the new teacher at the Panther Flat school, located inside the
park. Impressed by the dry heat and fearful of rattlers, Page soon
finds new friends among the children of the park rangers and local
ranchers. She meets a mountain lion named Carmencita, watches a family
of skunks parade across her patio every night, and soaks up legends
about lost gold in the Ghost Mountains that rise behind the school.
“Henderson
has taken full advantage of the rich history and legends of this
setting to create an exciting adventure story.” —American Library
