Synopsis

Everyone has dreamed of having a special place all their own. A secret place that nobody else knows about. Little did Jennie Maria know that she would find hers as she obeyed her dying grandfather's last request to find the secret of the Pink Waterfall.

After negotiating a dangerous route full of narrow trails, tipping tree bridges and rock slides through dark caverns, Jennie Maria finds herself trapped in a wondrous hidden valley after a storm sends flood waters to seal the entrance. Her only communication with the outside world is her best friend Jason's messenger pigeon, Zippo, and her only companions are the animals of the valley who are surprisingly quite tame. Jennie Maria's grandfather has been preparing for her arrival and has built her an ingenious cabin with hot and cold running water, a luscious garden filled with fruits and vegetables, and a detailed book that tells her the history of the valley and its former occupants, the legendary Lapishami Indians.

Follow Jennie Maria on her adventures, both physical and spiritual, as she tries to find a passage out of the valley. Laugh with her over the antics of Blueboy the parrot and experience the thrill of riding a muscular mountain goat to the very top of the surrounding cliffs! With 36 brilliantly colored and 24 black and white drawings, it is easy to share in her awe of the Indian treasures she finds, the magnificence of the surrounding ecology, the serenity of the Morning Glory Pool, and the simple beauty of the Pansy Throne.

Will Jennie Maria discover a way to get home or is she stranded in this Paradise until the waters recede with the next summer? Fun and intrigue for children of all ages, check out The Mystery of the Pink Waterfall and find out!

About this title

From the Publisher

Dr. Moulton had wanted to be a writer since he was 5 years old. He wrote many professional articles and contributed to a mental health textbook as well as a series of newspaper stories about a marital counseling program. He was encouraged to try his hand at fiction by his children and grandchildren and by his young patients, who have loved the stories he made up for them through the years. "The Mystery of the Pink Waterfall" was written at the rate of about three pages in longhand every morning over a restaurant breakfast. Fortunately he was a patient man, as it took a year to finish and another year to publish.
