David Goudsward review
“Abby McNabb is the nine-year-old heir apparent to both Fox Mulder and Nancy Drew. The Man of Mystery Hill By Tracy L. Carbone adds magic and the paranormal to the archaeology and the result is an enchanting romp through southern New Hampshire megaliths that will delight readers of all ages.”-David Goudsward author of America's Stonehenge, The Mystery Hill Story

Bill Breedlove
"In MYSTERY HILL, Tracy L. Carbone has crafted a wonderfully evocative tale that not only encompasses the mysteries of the supernatural, but also those equally fascinating mysteries of that eternally unmapped landscape we call 'childhood.' Consistently warm, funny and--most importantly--filled with a sense of wonder, this is a book to be cherished and reread time and time again."
