The Secret of Death Trap Mine (A Baxter Kids Adventure Book 1) by Craig A. Hart

A professional skeptic and his twelve-year-old twins travel to a legendary Alaskan Gold Rush mine to investigate reports of paranormal activity, only to find themselves entangled in a very real local conflict. This adventure mystery plunges readers into the atmospheric setting of Skagway, where ghost stories from the Death Trap Mine hide evidence of possible ulterior motives, forcing the family to question if the real danger comes from the supernatural or from the living.

The dynamic between the skeptical father and his inquisitive twins provides a compelling anchor for the spooky proceedings, blending family dynamics with genuine suspense. Young readers who love a good ghost story will be hooked by the eerie mine setting and the thrill of the investigation, while the grounded mystery and focus on uncovering the truth offer a satisfyingly logical puzzle. This is a cleverly constructed tale that proves sometimes the most frightening hauntings are the ones rooted in human secrets.
