Children's historical mystery
Moon Over Manifest
Abilene Tucker is sent to the small Kansas town of Manifest, where her absent father spent part of his youth. Local stories, a mysterious suitcase, and a newspaper column about the past lead her into a web of friendships and secrets reaching back to the First World War. Abilene's search for her father's history becomes a way to build a future of her own. Lyrical and hopeful, this historical mystery suits summer reading about chosen family, memory, and a town learning to tell the truth.
