The Alden children embark on a thrilling quest at Eton Place, where a ghostly presence and a cryptic clue challenge them to find a hidden treasure. With only a single hint from Norah Eton, they must unravel the mystery before the ghost of the Chattering Bones drives them away. Will they succeed in their search, or will the spectral secrets of the past prove too daunting? Dive into a tale of suspense and adventure as the Aldens face their most haunting mystery yet.

From the publisher

The Alden children knew they would be investigating a mystery at Eton Place, but they had no idea there would be a ghost there, too! An old family friend, Norah Eton, believes there is a valuable piece of jewelry hidden somewhere on her property, but she only has one small clue to help the Aldens find it. Will they be able to find the treasure, or will the ghost of the Chattering Bones scare them away first?
