\n Liberty or death is just the beginning in this hunt for secrets left by the Founding Fathers.<\/p>\n

When sleuthing brothers Sam and Derek visit Richmond\u2019s historic St. John\u2019s Church for a reenactment of Patrick Henry\u2019s famous \u201cGive me liberty or give me death\u201d speech, something\u2019s hidden in the basement. Something important.<\/p>\n

As the brothers and their classmates dig deeper, they find clues from Thomas Jefferson, George Wythe, and other Founding Fathers in a quest for a priceless document hidden over the centuries.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re not the only ones searching, and if they don\u2019t solve the puzzles fast, a cunning adversary named Jerry may steal this precious piece of our nation\u2019s history. Secret inventions, hidden passageways and tales of murder are all part of this high-stakes chase from the cemeteries of Richmond to the streets of Colonial Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

Mystery on Church Hill is the second book in The Virginia Mysteries series, but it can also be read as a standalone. If you enjoy mystery and adventure like the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Magic Tree House, or National Treasure, you\u2019ll love author Steven K. Smith\u2019s exciting middle-grade series. The stories are modern-day fictional mysteries with twists of real locations and events from Virginia history. These fast-paced books are popular with both boys and girls ages 7-12, appealing to even reluctant readers!<\/p>\n
