Books with title The Mystery of Holly Lane

With a dad who disappeared years ago and a mother who's a bit too busy to parent, Emmy is shipped off to Wellsworth, a prestigious boarding school in England, where she's sure she won't fit in. But then she finds a box of mysterious medallions in the attic of her home—medallions that belonged to her father…who may have gone to Wellsworth. When she arrives at school, she finds the strange symbols from the medallions etched into walls and books, which leads her and her new friends, Jack and Lola, to Wellsworth's secret society: The Order of Black Hollow Lane. Emmy can't help but think that the society had something to do with her dad's disappearance and that there may be more than just dark secrets in the halls of Wellsworth.

A rough treasure map, discovered in a neglected dinghy, starts two boys on a set of clues, each one bringing a greater reward. It's not plain sailing (as they say), because all the way, they are dogged by a modern day pirate, who wants the treasure for himself. They think they have escaped him when they travel north to the remotest part of the Lake District, but then fall foul of a gang of desperate criminals. While their family is besieged, the boys make a break for it in their dinghy. Will they ever find the treasure, or simply be lucky enough to escape with their lives? Swallows and Amazons for the 21st century.
