I have a patron who is looking for a book called Mystery of Hidden
Creek. She says she read in the 6th grade in the mid 70's but didn't
finish it and wants to get it now. I thought it might be a Nancy Drew,
but I'm coming up empty. Any ideas? That's all the info I have.

Thanks in advance,

Just on a lark, I typed in that title at www.alibris.com and came up
with a set of books published by Avon in 1976. Could this be it?

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

ABEBooks lists a "Secrets of Hidden Creek" published by Avon Camelot (pb) in
1976. No author is given, but could this be the one?
