Secrets in the Hills: A Josefina Mystery (American Girl Mysteries Series)

by Kathleen Ernst, Juliana Kolesova (Illustrator)

Overview

Josefina has heard tales and legends all her life: rumors of gold and silver buried in the hills, and even stories of a ghostly Weeping Woman who haunts the countryside. She never imagined that such tales might be true until the day a mysterious stranger arrives at her rancho. Could all these stories lead to the discovery of a long-lost treasure or a terrifying omen? Includes a glossary of Spanish words and an Inside Josefina's World essay about New Mexican legends.
