THE TROUBLE WITH JACOB

IL 3-6 RL 6.0
ISBN 0689504470 
Andy and Kat are twins relocated to their uncle's lodge with their mom who is running the backwoods conference center while the uncle is on vacation. Andy and Kat make friends with a couple old timers down the lane and they get involved with Jacob when he catches Andy and asks for help in getting his stolen bed back. The trouble with Jacob is that he's supposed to be buried in the cemetery. But if he's not, who -- or what -- is buried there? It all comes to a head the weekend mom takes off to have their own house reroofed. Kat and Andy have to deal with the sheriff's office which isn't half as complicated as dealing with town division over who has the right to dig up Jacob's grave.
