Country of the Birch Trees, Book 3 in the Sourland Mountain Book Series I

“The author deftly handles complex issues, like cultural background and mental health, in a gentle but realistic manner.”—Kirkus Reviews

River Wren has always lived on the shores of Lake Saturday in the Backwoods of Sourland Mountain in central New Jersey. Her life seems simple and predictable—at least on the outside. But on the inside, River is struggling against strong currents. Her late father’s parents were from the Lenni-Lenape tribe and River wants to learn about them and her heritage, but her dad refuses to talk about his past. Her sister Savannah keeps sneaking off into the woods, and River worries she’s up to no good. And then there’s her friend George’s mother, whose strange behavior frightens River. To investigate these mysteries River, George, and their friend Joe form the Three Detectives Club. Will they be able to unravel what’s going on around them?
