IN THE SHADOW OF THE TOWER
by Ann Carol Ulrich
Annette Vetter Adventure #5
A very special Christmas for Annette ...
"Tomorrow I get a
day off," said Uncle Will, eating the rest of the tuna concoction right
out of the bowl with a spoon.
Ruby looked over at him with interest.
"I thought you might like to get out of the
house. I could take you to the roller skating rink."
Ruby sighed. "I don't know, Uncle
Will. Terry said it was important for me to stay right here."
He didn't look at her. "You're bored stiff
here, Ruby. I don't want you going crazy on me."
Ruby felt a tear forming in her eye.
She was afraid to speak. She did feel terribly confined, but more than
that, she was afraid. Terry had made it clear that she wasn't to
go out in public and be seen. Someone might recognize her.
Even though Madison, Wisconsin was
well over a thousand miles from her home in Colorado Springs, she knew
the police had been informed. and posters with her picture on it might
turn up in a place as big as Madison. She didn't want to see her brother
go to jail.
It's Christmastime in Ravensville. While Penny is busy with the Christmas pageant at school and Mrs. Vetter is in the doldrums over a broken relationship, Annette is feeling extra lonely. The holiday get-away they'd planned is postponed because one of Annette's Holsteins is due to calve. Terry, a homeless boy, who is helping out at Pete's farm, is hiding something. Annette and Penny finally get to check out the local landmark they've been dying to investigate -- the old abandoned tower -- and discover another mystery to solve, involving a missing girl.
