Under the Mountain/Synopsis: It’s Gracelyn Edwards’ last summer at home. Being legally blind doesn’t keep her from running a popular “monster blog” or being an avid adventurer.

Years later, her family in tatters, Gracelyn visits the woods again. This time for revenge. Can the monster—and the secrets Gracelyn has uncovered—be destroyed before it’s too late?

What’s the link between the state’s largest pharmaceutical company, BeckePharm, and Palmer Laboratories, a New York-based upstart drug company?
