The New Start Suspense Series
This is a set of six short suspense novels with high interest and low vocabulary (grades 2-3). They are intended to fill the gap for young readers who are chronologically past the primary age but not yet ready to read material at the junior or intermediate levels.
The Swamp
Two of the characters find a locked bag beside a skeletal hand wearing a ruby ring. As they investigate, they are trapped behind falling rocks. Will they be rescued and what should they do about the locked bag, ring and hand?
