Local author, Lisa Schmid’s debut middle grade novel, OLLIE OXLEY AND THE GHOST: THE SEARCH FOR LOST GOLD is scheduled for release on June 18, 2019, but is available now for pre-order on Amazon.
Twelve-year-old Ollie Oxley is moving again. His mom is starting another new job, this time at the Bingham Theater in Granite City, California. Moving all the time means Ollie has struggled in the making friends department, but he quickly connects with a boy named Teddy. To Ollie's surprise, though, his first friend in town is a little more . . . unique than those he's made in the past. Teddy is a ghost.
Befriending someone who lived during the famous California Gold Rush sure does make things interesting for Ollie. But when the school bully, Aubrey, targets Ollie and it looks like the Bingham Theater might close, the stakes couldn't be higher. Can Teddy and Ollie work together to take down Aubrey, save his mom's job, and solve a mystery years in the making?
"I think this story will be especially fun for Folsom kids, in that I used our town as the setting for my mystery," Lisa Schmid said. “Kids might just recognize some of the local landmarks I used for inspiration."
