Bookroo's summary

The Alden children arrive at a mysterious Kansas inn, where secrets linger in every corner. Why did a renowned photographer capture just one image here? And who was the brave young traveler from the orphan train? As they uncover a forgotten riddle, the Aldens must piece together clues to unravel the inn's enigmatic past. Will they solve the puzzle before time runs out?

From the publisher

The Aldens visit an old Kansas inn that’s full of secrets! Nobody knows why a famous photographer visited the inn just to take a single picture. And what about the other legendary guest–a heroic young stranger who’d come west on an orphan train? The children discover a long lost-riddle that just might solve all these mysteries–if only they can solve it!
