About this ebook
Maple Grove is having a Founder's Day, and all the Barnhill family is taking part. Tom and Jake are in charge of the cornhole game; there's a parade down Main Street with people coming from far and wide. The men of the church are grilling hot dogs and hamburgers, while the ladies of the church are selling slices of homemade cakes and pies.
Who would ever suspect that trouble was about to come to this nice quiet village? What could a bank robbery in West Virginia have to do with Tom and Jake? Here are some clues, a hobo, a train, and a kidnapping. It makes for the most exciting and dangerous mystery of the boys' lives.

Chapter 1
Lottie looked out the kitchen window as she washed the breakfast dishes. Across the pasture was Moccasin Creek. Normally a quiet, peaceful little creek on the backside of Orchard Hill farm, today it was angry.
