Soon be Free by Lois Ruby
Why do weird things always happen to me?Dana thought she had solved all the historical mysteries in her parents' house in Lawrence, Kansas. But now that her parents have turned the house into a bed-and-breakfast, Dana isn't so sure. Their first guests, the Burks, are a suspicious couple who snoop where they shouldn't, searching for a secret document linked to the Weavers, a Quaker family who lived in the house almost 150 years ago when the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
As Dana combs the house for the hidden document, the story unfolds of thirteen-year-old James Baylor Weaver and his journey in 1857 to bring four slaves to freedom. James's travels will not only change his life but will bring about a horrible choice -- one that holds the key to the mystery Dana must solve before the Burks. Will she find the document in time?
The Doll Graveyard, Rebel Spirits, Steal Away Home, The Mystery of Laurel Oaks, and Strike! are just a few of Lois Ruby's middle grade and teen stories. Lois visits haunted locales in Kansas, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and even Australia, Spain, and Thailand while on the road. She hasn't been tapped on the shoulder by spirits yet, but she expects it any day now. Lois and her husband split their time between Chicago, Illinois and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
