lost & found vintage toys

mystery back of the mountain

toxic read tons of mysteries,
(including all the nancy drew & hardy boys..)
she especially liked this vintage 1967 scholastic book..

i distinctly remember she wanted to be just like the tall, skinny "strange girl" in the story..

i think we definitely achieved tall, skinny & strange.. lol

ghost & toxic

p.s. i found another scholastic mystery by this same author ~ the ghost rock mystery
