I found this book, a leftover from my childhood, when we were cleaning out my parents' garage. I re-read it after approximately 30 years, and found it to be borderline racist, absolutely sexist (to both genders) and most unforgivably, badly written and lame. Nostalgia ain't what it's cracked up to be, kids. -cg (

When Nancy and her friends ride deep into the Sawniegunk Forest in search of a flying saucer, they find themselves in the middle of more than one mystery. Wildcats, runaway horses, deadly snakes, and a disappearing Indian keep the sleuths tangled in danger and suspense.
