Books with title Secret in the Swamp: "The Haunted Mansion"-Final Chapter

That same day, we time traveled once more. We never chose to travel back in time; it would merely just “happen” to us. We were just “lucky.” As we grew up, we figured that chance would never come our way again. The story was complete, and all of it had happened in about twenty-four hours of elapsed time. So, we thought we had accomplished what we had been called on to do. Now at seventeen, my sister Sally could not have possibly known this was about to change. Time travel is risky; would anything bad ever happen because of it?

Of all the adventures kids can have, nothing compares to the old abandoned mansion my sister and I discovered eighteen years ago. It was a terribly hot evening in the humid swamps behind our town. When distant thunder rumbled like a Civil War cannon, we should have just run for cover. It is a good thing we had flashlights. It is a good thing we did not flee in terror. From the looks of that lost mansion, how could we know anything good might happen that night... A MUST for every third grader in Louisiana!
