What’s hiding in Harwood Forest?

When best friends Pete, Nancy, and Krish arrive at Heathland Camp for a school trip, they’re in for an adventure—just not the kind they were expecting. Nearby sits the abandoned Harwood Institute. Mystery shrouds the grounds, with strange screams coming from the surrounding forest at night. The crumbling buildings are off-limits for students, but the friends are determined to uncover the truth. A malevolent secret hides in the heart of the forest, and the trio could be in real danger.

Are some mysteries best left undisturbed?

This accessible, page-turning middle-grade supernatural mystery is perfect for fans of R. L. Stine and Margaret Peterson Haddix.
