The Happy Hollisters and the Secret Fort (Happy Hollisters, #9) by Jerry West
Starts out where the town is making a new highway and there is talk of a hidden long lost fort. The kids track down those who would've been around in that time frame and learn some clues.
One man, Mr. Manger they find looking over their shoulder at the town museum and they find him other places-he is spying on them! Love the talk of the machinery needed to make the roads and how they all work.
Colorful characters that do the manual labor and love how they explain about their machines. My dad had most of them for his business but not the cat. Interesting to learn all about them.
Kids help other kids who might lose their house cuz of where the road has to go...
Love how it all works out and all about the fort. such hidden gems!
Sketches hand drawn are also excellent works of art. Love how kids are so generous to others even the men while they are working.
Of course the bully is present, getting used to him messing things up.
