Product Description

A Children's Book-of-the-Month Club Selection

FROM THE BLOG OF CAM WALKER

Eagle Tower is just about the most important place in the world to my friends and me. The first Outrider expedition ever was a hike to Eagle Tower. For us, it's kind of like the spot where my friends and I becameOutriders. So when we found out that a mining company was going to tear the tower down in five days, we had to plan one last expedition there.

One thing I can say about expeditions is that most times they turn out a lot differently than you planned. For instance, here is a bunch of things we didn't know would happen in Pine Hollow:

1 THAT WE WOULD RUN INTO A GROUP OF KIDS FROM UP IN THE BLUFFS WHO SORT OF FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT EAGLE TOWER AS WE DID

2 THAT OUR FRIEND BETTINA WAS CONCEALING SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT FROM ALL OF US

3 THAT THE MINING COMPANY WOULD START DYNAMITING FIVE DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Oh, and I probably should mention that we discovered a lost city andwere almost trapped in there for eternity, but you can read all about itin the rest of my blog....

Cam Walker is back -- and getting into more trouble then ever.

The Outriders are trying to raise money for their next expedition to Eagle Tower, located inside Pine Hollow State Forest, and they need to do it quickly, before it gets torn down. Not one to pass up a mission, Cam, Bettina, and Wyatt all head towards Bluff's Country Club to take some golf balls. Sounds like a crazy idea but it works for them.

Not one to brag (of course), but Cam's plans usually work out fine. Since there have been numerous break-ins at the Country Club, however, security is tighter. Cam and Bettina unknowingly trip off an alarm, causing security to go all-out, not wanting to let them get away. Wyatt was able to evade the guards, and with some quick thinking, Cam and Bettina were also able to escape, but without any golf balls.

The mission has failed. So the Outriders continue to brainstorm what else they could do to raise money. If only they knew what was in store for them if they actually reach Eagle Tower. With a weird history and some things that no one really knows about, Eagle Tower intrigues them. It is a mystery that they want to solve, especially Cam.

Along the way, though, Cam is offered a proposal that is too good to be true but also means he has to switch sides. Not only that, but he surprisingly gets closer to the treasure that he has been wanting to discover, and secrets will be revealed about certain members of the Outriders. Cam is in for the ride of his life, and it is not smooth at all.

An adventurous read for all ages, EXPEDITION TO PINE HOLLOW isn't only thrilling, but also jam-packed with action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is another daring story that contains interesting history in the already intriguing OUTRIDERS series.
