Overview
A weekend in New York State spells trouble for the kids when a vengeful ghost on horseback tears across the countryside under the light of the moon. Noah's got his hands full, although he doesn't mind the freedom that a weekend at the Murphy's apple orchard offers. He's got farm chores to do and a geocache to locate-an extra credit assignment that might be his only chance at raising his failing history grade. But when its GPS coordinates point toward a massive corn maze smack in the middle of a popular fall festival, the hunt becomes a lot more complicated than he'd imagined, especially when the gang learns of the vengeful nineteenth-century ghost rider haunting the fields. And then, of course, there's his tongue-tying crush on the Murphy's thirteen-year-old granddaughter. Don't even get him started on that. Join this modern-day group of accidental sleuths as they unravel another heart-racing historical mystery in the Tales of the Lost & Found. Recommended for ages 8-12. No graphic violence or language.

Reviews
"""Shana Gorian is a master storyteller. This fast-paced adventure has all the right ingredients for a memorable read - great setting, characters, mystery, and a wonderful plot. Loved the descriptions - really felt like I was there. Adding a geocache was a fun element! Highly recommend!"" M.K. Tufft ""Noah and his sister Oakley are visiting the Murphy farm and orchard in upstate New York with their friend, Andre. They are enjoying learning about farm life but one thing troubles Noah. He has failed his history exam and his parents will ground him if he fails to pick up his grades. To make matters worse, his parents are history teachers! Noah's teacher has given him an opportunity to make things right. She offered him coordinates to participate in a geocache. A geocache is a global treasure hunt game whose goal is to find a hidden treasure. Noah is not enthusiastic until Murphy's granddaughter, Annalise, shows interest. Noah has developed a bad crush on her. The four teens decide they will embark the next day to explore the coordinates. Once engaged on the hunt things get complicated. A nineteenth century ghost scouts the area. Strange sounds and events pop up. Will the foursome find the treasure? Can they survive their paranormal adventure? The autumn setting and eerie feel contrast the peaceful nature of the farm with the threats that loom over them. The author skillfully weaves history within the plot teaching about the Harvest and Hunter's Moon while revealing plot elements. Mystery, coming of age, detectives, and fear combine to entice middle grade readers to turn each page."" Children's Author Barbara Mojica"
