Twelve-year-old Aiden has never met a Keep Out sign he didn't want to ignore. So when his class visits the rugged, heather-covered hills near Blackwood Village, Scotland, he immediately talks his cautious best friend, Iain, into ditching the gravel trail to explore the ruins of an old 19th-century gold mining territory.
Except the ruins aren't as abandoned as they look.
After plunging through a rotted moss trapdoor straight into a subterranean labyrinth of dark tunnels and rusted tracks, Aiden and Iain find themselves trapped deep beneath the mountain. But they aren't alone. Guarding the glittering veins of rock is the glowing, spectral miner of Gold Hill-a furious Victorian ghost with an icy touch, a heavy pickaxe, and a zero-tolerance policy for trespassers.
With the school bus leaving in minutes, a towering mountain blocking their escape, and a vengeful phantom hot on their heels, Aiden and Iain have to rely on quick thinking, shaky bravery, and each other to make it out alive.
Packed with heart-pounding suspense, eerie folklore, and witty best-friend banter, Curse of the Abandoned Gold Mine is a thrilling middle-grade paranormal adventure perfect for fans of spooky mysteries and high-stakes exploration.
Can Aiden and Iain outrun a ghost and make it back before roll call? Or will they become permanent residents of the mountain?
