LOST DANA GIRLS MYSTERY!

I thought this Dana Girls fanfiction mystery was lost when my computer with its files crashed and AOL did away with its webspace at the same time. But Google had it archived! Yay, Google! So now we'll use those pages until I get a new site set up!


An all-new vintage Dana Girls mystery!
Completely online and free!

THE SECRET OF THE ICE CASTLE
This is a full-length fanfiction mystery in the original 1930s Mildred Wirt style. It takes place at a haunted English manor house in the hills north of  Penfield in which a flute-playing ghost roams the halls on long winter nights accompanied by a wolf. Shift the scene to nearby frozen Indian Lake and a white stone castle on Spirit Island where the local Indian burial grounds were once the scene of  a notorious crime. Louise and Jean are asked to solve this mystery from both the past and present, and they meet up with thrills and chills as they track down clues in the bleak winter landscape.

What the reviewers said ten years ago ....


"It was just like reading one of the original novels by McFarlane or Benson. I just want to say thanks for making such a delightful gift available to all of us.".....Frank Quillen, series books aficionado

"This 'new' original-style Dana has all the literary plot development of the first (Danas). The strong setting, the familiar leading characters, the pranks, the coincidences (I love those coincidences), and an unusual mystery - all ring very true to the series book series, Dana Girls." ....Susabella Passengers, series books fanzine

"The Secret of the Ice Castle is marked by a high sense of adventure. It is a gripping mystery that compelled my attention throughout the reading. I was more than pleasantly surprised to read it, and gladly give it a 9+." ....David M. Baumann, Starman series author
