Forgotten Secrets of the Tuscarora Eye: A Hannah Hallie Hawkins History Mystery

From the winner of the Moonbeam and PenCraft Children’s Book Awards comes a charming new adventure.

It’s challenging enough to be a knobby-kneed eleven-year-old with braces, but for one who has inherited a family curse, things are especially complicated.

Hannah never imagined what she and her best friends, Chan and Aimee, would discover when they stepped into her late great-aunt Buggy’s Victorian house in the Middle of Nowhere, North Carolina. The mansion, which had been in the Hawkins family for generations, held many long-forgotten secrets.

One of those secrets, the curse of the Tuscarora Eye, would impact Hannah directly. With less than a week to find the wampum pendant, believed to offer protection for those born with the Tuscarora Eye, tensions are running high. The house itself, with its shadowy corners and spooky noises, only adds to the girls’ growing anxiety.

Is the dark-haired boy, who is leaving mysterious messages in the woods, hoping to help or hinder the girls’ efforts? Will the girls be able to work together to solve Hannah’s most important mystery, or will Hannah’s insecurities tear them apart?

Forgotten Secrets of the Tuscarora Eye is perfect for middle-grade mystery fans who enjoy old houses, adventuring, and family history.
