About this book
When best friends Joyce and Cynthia discover a boarded-up house shrouded in mystery, they embark on an unforgettable adventure alongside their loyal dog Goliath to uncover its secrets. At the heart of their investigation lies an intriguing puzzle: a long-lost letter hidden within the house's dusty walls that holds the key to solving a decades-old mystery.
Originally published in 1915, Augusta Huiell Seaman's *The Boarded Up House* stands as a charming precursor to the detective fiction that would captivate young readers for generations to come. This classic juvenile mystery follows two resourceful girls as they transform themselves into amateur detectives, employing keen observation and determination to piece together the truth.

Seaman's engaging storytelling captures the spirit of youthful curiosity and the thrill of solving puzzles through persistence and friendship. The narrative balance of suspense, humor, and genuine mystery makes this tale timeless despite its early twentieth-century setting.
