The Legend of the Falcon Mine

In a new home, a new town, and a new school, Nick feels more
alone than ever. His father is very busy in his job, his mother
isn’t around and it seems like things can’t get
much worse, but then his class goes on a field trip to the
Silverado Ghost Town. Nick is framed for stealing a museum
artifact—the journal of the notorious Slim Marano, who
was hanged for murder more than 100 years ago.
Just when he’s sure that no one will believe him, Nick
comes face-to-face with Slim’s spirit and discovers
that they have something in common—they were both set
up. Nick travels through time to the Old West to help Slim
prove his innocence. They discover a conspiracy of vengeance,
greed, and murder fueled by dark forces.
With danger building and time running out, Nick must discover
the truth to save innocent lives—and change his own
forever. |
