I picked up the entire 12-volume 'History of Middle-earth' for the Kindle for only $33 today (thanks to #Tolkien #reading Day). That's an insanely good bargain!

Ive been trying to track down a book I read and loved as a kid and have searched for, but can't remember the author or title, so thought maybe the fediverse could help me track it down.
I read it in the late 80's / early 90's, but I remember the cover art being a bit "old fashioned" so it technically could have been published the 70's or earlier.
The story revolved around a kid/kids moving to (or just spending the summer at) an old American farmhouse that was haunted by the ghost of a young boy in "wild west" style clothes. The main plot is the kids solving the mystery of the ghost boys death, that involved a train heist 100 years earlier and the boy being killed for betraying the gang who did the heist.
I think. like I say, I read it 30+ years ago, but remember loving it and would now love to read it to my kids.
Any ideas out there? Anyone remember a book like that?

I'm a new-ish #writer from Australia. I'm currently working on my first novel, on it’s fifth draft. It'll be the first in a series. I love this story and my characters and hope to publish it once it’s finished.
I also love #knitting, #art, and #reading.
I would love to meet other #writers, #readers and creative people.

Just finished Courtney Milan's new romance, The Marquis Who Mustn't. Happy sighs! It's so good! This is the series about Chinese noblemen in Victorian England. This one has pottery geekery and vintage first aid practices too. And really lives up to the gorgeous cover and title. https://www.courtneymilan.com/wedgeford-trials/

Repeat this infinitely in a closed loop of techbro busywork until you get bored or die.
Leave the rest of us to create and appreciate the art form in a modest human way.

This one is about the authors. because no one loves books and readers more than authors. especially not the CEO of Barnes & Noble.

I'm a techie and a writer. I first started programming on a Vic20 when I was about 5 years old. I started writing some years later but put it aside for many years.
The last few years I picked it up again, and have published two #scifi novels so far, which you can read more about at https://galaxybound.com
