Mystery at Spirit Lake

Bigfoot. Buried secrets. And absolutely zero cell service. What could possibly go wrong? Think Scooby-Doo meets National Geographic—with more trail mix and fewer functioning flashlights. Camping near Mount St. Helens sounded like a great idea—until it wasn't. A lava tube expedition leads to a strange cave painting, a suspicious footprint the size of a canoe, a mysteriously flat tire, and a guy named Jake who might be a criminal—or just really into flannel. The kids quickly realize something weird is going on—and it's not just Forest's hair gel addiction. Soon, they're sneaking past trail cams, uncovering a shady mining operation, receiving unsolicited wilderness advice from Ranger Ralph, and getting chased through the woods by something with enormous feet—and questionable hygiene. All Dominic knows is, someone's lying, Bigfoot might be in on it, and the pancakes better be worth the trauma. Set against the rugged backdrop of Mount St. Helens, this hilarious mystery is packed with danger, drama, and just enough Bigfoot to keep you guessing. Because at Spirit Lake, the only thing more active than the volcano … is the mystery.
