The weather-beaten sign on the gate of the Magic Forest says closed for
the season. But when the boys ride up to the gate on their bikes, Arthur
tells his new friend, Logan, that the old amusement park hasn't been
open for years. Kudzu vines have grown over everything, making the park
look sinister even in broad daylight, so Logan is reluctant to go
inside, but Arthur urges him on. He's sure they'll discover important
clues to the mystery they're trying to solve: Who killed Myrtle
Donaldson? And what happened to the money she handled as head bookkeeper
at the Magic Forest? Arthur and Logan's quest takes them to the lowest
-- and highest -- levels of society in their small Virginia town. The
boys must pay another visit to the Magic Forest, this time in the middle
of the night. And this time they find the killer waiting for them among
the shadowy kudzu vines.
