Brings back memories of reading them in the back seat of the car on trips. I can't really remember any of the stories but one title stands out "Haunted Mesa" because I had no idea what a "mesa" was but the picture on the front was so exotic looking! Ha, I just googled it! "Secret of Haunted Mesa" it's called. Yeah, I read a lot of her kids' mysteries.Nikki in Niagarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348586723780500367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-91757994664238775922016-01-24T05:21:50.067-06:002016-01-24T05:21:50.067-06:00And thank you, Stacy!
