Secret Of Robber's Cave (Cabin Creek Mysteries) (Paperback)

~ Kristiana Gregory (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Action! Intrigue! Cliff-hangers!

With a riveting overarching series storyline and a mini-mystery in each title, Cabin Creek gives readers what they crave: immediate answers AND ongoing suspense. Every book reveals clues, adds layers, and finds the characters investigating, plotting, and unraveling clues. They'll need their wits, their courage, and their gadgets to get to the bottom of the many mysteries of Lost Island.

Jeff and David's dad told them they weren't allowed to explore Lost Island until Jeff's twelfth birthday, and that they should never go alone. (cont.)

As soon as they set foot on the marshy ground, they suspect something is not right. What secrets are hidden by the lingering mist and overgrown pines? The brothers had never believed the Legend of Robber's Cave, but now they have to wonder. And when their nine-year old cousin, Claire, convinces their parents that she should be part of the island outings, things get more complicated.

Should they believe Mr. Wellback's warnings? Is there an actual cave? Did the stagecoach robber really die there? And did he take the secret of the treasure with him to his grave? The cousins plan to find out, but they soon realize that the truth is harder to uncover than the skeleton of an escaped villain.

5.0 out of 5 stars exciting adventures and great friendships!, May 12, 2009

By	mom of 4 boys (USA) - See all my reviews

I am a mom of 4 boys and have been looking for something to read to them over the summer break. I just finished all of the books out in this series and have to say that these are some of my favorites!! Not only do they keep your interest, but the characters are wonderful. They are realistic and endearing without being harsh~ A breath of fresh air from some of the crude, commercialized stuff out there.
Two brothers, Jeff and David along with their cousin Claire have all sorts of wonderful adventures along with their dogs~ canoeing on the lake, secret hideouts in the woods, intriguing clues, riding bikes and hiking, using walkie talkies and camping. They even rig up a pulley system from their fort to their look-out tree for transporting snacks. I was laughing about one of the brothers because he usually sleeps in his clothes and ends up with his shirt on inside-out and backwards... something that happens regularly at our house. :) There is an old man in the series the children call Mr. Wellback, because he begins all of his stories with "Well, back in my day...".
My boys like it because of the adventure and mystery (me too! :). I especially appreciate the values of kindness, loyalty, responsibility, honesty, forgiveness and true friendship that has been woven within the adventures! Thank you so much K. Gregory!!!
