Where The Bee Barks Mary Marrocco

What would you do? Stuck far away from the city for the summer, far away from all your friends. Putting up with "a dippy aunt, and a bunch of babies, and nothing to do." Ella had not planned to hurt her knee and have to wait a year before playing tennis competitively again. And she wasn't planning to spend one of her last summers of high school this way. So what would you do? You'd find yourself having some wild adventures, especially when curious and unexplained things start happening. You might even discover a hidden cave, a mysterious painting, handsome horses, a century-old letter and the secret behind a lost gold ring. Ella and her cousins - Randy, Marie and Rick - take on a simple game that leads to unexpected dangers. To survive them, they will need to find unknown courage. Along the way, they learn new understanding of earth's green treasures, and find themselves changed in ways they never expected.
