Sommaire:
Four kids. One buried secret. A Christmas town that will never be the same. Welcome to Braxton-an enchanting, year-round Christmas town that tourists adore and eighth-grader Daniel Ford calls home. As one of the town's youngest tour guides, Daniel knows every story and legend about August Braxton, the visionary founder who transformed a forgotten town into a holiday destination. But everything changes the day Daniel discovers a century-old note hidden inside August's mansion: Everything you know about Braxton-and me-is a lie. Determined to uncover the truth, Daniel teams up with his best friend Cindy, fearless climber Keeley, and muscular loner Adrian. Their search leads them deep into a buried mystery-through abandoned factories, forgotten chambers, hidden mechanisms, and coded messages. Each clue draws them closer to a dangerous treasure one man tried desperately to destroy. And one that powerful forces would do anything to control. As Christmas Eve approaches and danger tightens around them, Daniel and his friends must unravel a conspiracy powerful enough to shatter families and destroy lives. Some secrets stay buried for a reason. This one could tear their beloved town apart. Perfect for fans of City Spies and The 39 Clues, Misguided delivers a twist-filled winter mystery where courage, friendship, and long-buried truths collide....
