(Wildside Press, Sept. 5, 2017)
The unexpected phantom! Ted had looked forward to spring vacation on the rambling old farm his parents had bought in what had once been Cherokee country. He wanted to find the fox's den and maybe even dig up some arrowheads. But that was before he learned that his twin cousins were coming to visit. Hoping to keep Winkie and Bobbin indoors and out of his vacation plans, Ted decided to scare them with ghost stories.he is astonished to find that there are weird goings-on in the old barn--including a mysterious, headless shape that glows in the dark! Ted and the twins decide to investigate, so one night they set out to explore the barn as it looms dark and ominous on the hill.... "...Combines the creepier elements of a ghost story, the suspense of unexplainable evening manifestations emanating from the barn, and the mystery is solved both as a matter of detection and a comedy of errors." -- Kirkus "The story is lively and amusing, and the children's adventures, into which are woven interesting bits of wildlife and animal lore, as well as details of night photography, have enough scariness and suspense to keep the reader absorbed until story's end." -- Chicago Tribune "Parlay the supernatural with the mystery and you have a tempting treat... Wilson Gage does just that in her The Ghost of Five Owl Farm." -- Daily Independent Journal
