CHILDREN of THE SUN

About the Book

After two professors give a speech at a local campground about ancient burial grounds in the Appalachian Mountains, Maggie and her friend, Digger fear the worst. As they set out to save long-hidden sacred grounds from unscrupulous treasures hunters, their quest soon leads them to danger as forest fires suddenly rage out of control.

When a local Forest Ranger mysteriously disappears while warning campers of the forest fire, Maggie and Digger join a search team to help find him. Their rescue efforts become complicated when they discover Zack and Jonah, two young boys who live on the mountain, have also disappeared after they set out to find the Ranger on their own.

A temperamental bear and two unsavory moonshine dealers increase the dangers and complicate rescue efforts for the search party. Yet, Maggie and Digger continue to press on through the rugged trails as smoke from the forest fire intensifies.
