Описание: Fourteen-year-old Chris Nesbit is miserable when her family moves away from Milwaukee to a small town in Iowa, where her father has accepted the job as the local papers new editor.Her little brother, Philip, doesnt seem bothered a bit as he announces to the family that Iowa is tornado country ... and he cant wait to see one.The first night in their new house in the suburbs, Chris is awakened by a sound and happens to see the silhouette of a tall man in her room, walking out her bedroom door. Too frightened to scream, she waits till morning to tell her parents, but they dont believe her.Chris is curious about the unexplored root cellar in the familys basement, all boarded up and covered with a curtain. Shes dying to know whats inside it, but her mother says the cellar is off limits, even though none of them has even seen it.Then Chris meets Wendy Young and Wendys cute older brother Skip, who live across the street. She agrees to join Wendys club, the P.E.D. (Private Eye Detectives), and together they attempt to solve their first mystery surrounding the Nesbits eccentric next-door neighbor, Mr. North.Not convinced that the strange-looking neighbor man deserves to be Wendys suspect, Mr. X, Chris at least will go along with the game. That is, until Pamela and Herbert Caldwell enter the picture.These two overly friendly adults from the West Coast are interested in the Nesbits house for genealogy purposes, yet the girls sense that there is something more on their agenda and that they are using a cover story to gain access to the Nesbits new house.Not only do night noises in the house continue, keeping Chris awake and a nervous wreck, but the girls discover a gold watch on the floor of the root cellar on the afternoon that they manage to sneak in for a quick look. Unfortunately, their exploring mission is cut short when Mrs. Nesbit comes home and chews them out for going into the cellar.The Root Cellar Mystery is for young teens and is based on actual activities from the authors childhood. Chris learns that its not wise to judge somebody based on a first glimpse, without knowing anything about their character. She also learns that moving away from your friends and meeting new people can be a good thing, especially when you get to be a Private Eye and the boy across the street really likes you.
