Bookroo's summary

Kate, Anders, and Erik face a chilling mystery when creamery checks vanish, leaving their family in peril. As they uncover stolen loot, boot prints disappear, and threats loom in the shadows. Trust is scarce, and danger lurks beyond the lantern's glow. Can they solve the mystery before it's too late, and will Papa return safely through the storm? With every step, the stakes rise, and the fate of Kate's beloved stepbrother Lars hangs in the balance. Who is the elusive thief, and what secrets does the darkness hold?

From the publisher

On a cold January day, Kate walks three miles to pick up her family’s creamery check, but discovers it was stolen the night before. No check means no money–at least for now. When Kate, Anders, and Erik discover some stolen loot, the mystery grows. Boot prints in the snow suddenly vanish, and someone leaves a threatening message. Who can they trust? What hidden danger hides outside the glow of a lantern? Mama says, “God will go with you,” but how can Kate and her friends go beyond fear? As the thief appears and disappears, every warning points toward danger! Will Papa make it home through the terrible winter storm? And what will happen to Lars, the younger stepbrother Kate has learned to love?
