Dead End In Norvelt
Trade paperback edition in good condition. Teacher’s Edition.
“Don’t ever forget your history,” she sang, “or any wicked soul can lie to you and get away with it.”
Jack’s plans for vacation excitement are shot down when he is “grounded for life” by his feuding parents. Plenty of excitement (and shocks) are coming Jack’s way once his mom loans him out to help a feisty old neighbor with a most unusual chore—typewriting obituaries filled with stories about the people who founded his town. One obituary leads to another, launching Jack on a strange adventure involving molten wax, Eleanor Roosevelt, twisted promises, a homemade airplane, Girl Scout cookies, a man on a trike, a dancing plague, voices from the past, Hell’s Angels…and possibly murder.
