A Middle Reader for boys aged 8-11 who love Nature and Ghost stories: Twelve-year old Bonafacio Martinez dreams of becoming a famous treasure hunter, but he hasn’t had very much luck. His classmates in a small town in Arizona constantly tease him and call him ‘Bony Boy’ because all he manages to dig up are old skunk and coyote bones. When they learn that he also likes bird watching, Bonafacio is soon known as ‘Chicken Bony Boy.’ Despite this constant teasing and name calling, young Bonafacio continues to enjoy his two favorite hobbies - treasure hunting and bird watching - with his loyal black wolf dog, Lobo, at his side. On an exciting hike in Madera Canyon, Bonafacio and Lobo somehow manage to wander off the main trail. They soon realize they are now lost, and it’s suddenly getting awfully dark, and awfully spooky looking, in the deep dark Santa Rita Mountains. Join them on their first exciting adventure as they nervously try to find their way back, soon running into all sorts of strange night creatures, including two nervous screech owls and a terrifying old ghost who wanders the canyon in the moonlight, scaring everyone who encounters him. And this ancient ghost draped in a raggedy dark brown robe holds the secret to a 200-year old canyon mystery. Can Bony Martinez and Lobo find their way back to the park entrance after wandering way too far from the main trail? And will they be able to somehow solve the Mystery of Madera Canyon?
