THE GHOST OF MELODY LANE
Mystery surrounds the great organ in the home of the "Cameo

Three people see the "ghost" that wanders in the grove carrying a waxy
white rose. And Carol finds the rose! In the end she finds the ghost
too!
THE FORBIDDEN TRAIL
There was a tradition at "Splatter Castle" on Melody Lane, and Marah
Splartier, eccentric aunt of Veronica Flint determined to protect Vera
from following the long line of family tragedies that had had their
beginning on the "forbidden trail." Carol has several bad frights
before she clears up the mystery that keeps the little family at
Splatter Castle unhappy and afraid.
THE TOWER SECRET
The winking lights flashing from the old tower on the grounds of the
Bonds’ new home defy explanation. There is no one in the tower—and no
electric power or connections! Had the engaging circus family that
Carol befriended anything to do with the mystery? And what interest had
Parsnips, the queer old farmer, in the "ghost" tower?
THE WILD WARNING
What power did the strange, wild warning in the woods have over Polly
Flinders? And why was she so desperately anxious to earn money? Carol
brings happiness to three families when she solves this exciting
mystery.
THE TERROR OF MOANING CLIFF
No tenant would stay in the great, bleak house on "moaning cliff" that
belonged to Carol’s aunt. But Carol, courageous and determined, finally
tracks the uncanny "haunts" to their source.
THE DRAGON OF THE HILLS
When Carol runs a tea shop for a friend, a baffling mystery comes to her
with her first customer. Who has the limping man’s lost package—the
gypsies, the oriental or the neighbor’s boy who ran away?
