MYSTERY ON CHURCH HILL (THE VIRG

Liberty or death was only the beginning of the secret the Founding Fathers left behind. Over half a million copies sold. When Sam and Derek explore Richmond's historic Church Hill — home to the old church where Patrick Henry once cried, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" — a chance discovery sends them chasing a secret left behind by one of Virginia's forgotten Founding Fathers. The trail runs from Church Hill's centuries-old streets to the colonial Williamsburg workshop of George Wythe — Thomas Jefferson's own teacher — as the brothers piece together a puzzle the city forgot, staying one step ahead of someone who wants it to stay buried. The deeper they dig into Virginia's revolutionary past, the more real the danger becomes. The Virginia Mysteries are adventures with a twist of history — fast-paced, wholesome, and grounded in real history and real places. Read the mystery. Visit the history. Perfect for boys and girls ages 7–12, reluctant readers, and fans of the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and National Treasure — and a longtime favorite of teachers for classroom and school-wide reading.

He wants to go see St. John’s Church & head to Williamsburg to sight see there too! I had planned on donating the books to our school library, but he didn’t want to – his reply was ‘I want to save these for my kids to read!'" - reader of Mystery on Church Hill "Where Mr. Smith shines is when he involves us in actual historic events…the places and people and the skullduggery that beleaguered the famous and infamous of the 18th Century grounds the book…the book is a terrific portal to introduce history to young readers in a captivating way." - reader of Mystery on Church Hill
