Much Ado About Grubstake--Jean Ferris

Grubstake: Population 62. Some ulu, unheard-of tiny town somewhere in Colorado. Train only comes once a month. Nothing ever happens in Grubstake. NOTHING. Half of the population(what population?) are probably miners. Miners who mineminemine for years and years and dig up nothing but dirt. 

SO when this all-important city slicker arrives, this rare visitor instantly becomes the center of attention. AND when he starts to offer hee-yuge amounts of hard cash for the miners worthless-full-of-dirt mines, they're all tempted to sell. Start a new life somewhere other than Grubstake.

Arley is not so tempted, though. She's suspicious. Why would anyone want random holes in the mountains?(They're told that a hotel's going to be built where Grubstake is. yeah right.)  Who is the black-clad, mysterious, scar-faced boarder who rode into grubby old Grubstake?? (he says he's a geographer.) Arley is determined to find out what exactly is going on.

And so she pits herself against the willy, evil, money-faced, determined Sidney Lockwood  and his cronies to dig out the truth. Then she finds out that what they want is not the mines, but whats in the mines. AND what they want is in her own mine. Sidney Lockwood knows this, and he's determined to get his hands on it. And he always gets what he wants.

Will Arley be able to keep Mr Lockwood from getting her mine? What scheme will she come up with to make him change his mind and go away?

Full of suspense and exciting, Much Ado About Grubstake captures the readers attention and makes them want to read more. The setting and plot is also vastly different from the chick lit and romance novels that most teens of today read.
