<p>The Mound</p><p></p><p>During the summer between fifth and sixth grade Ethan Hinsdale and Gavin Porter wanted to build a treehouse in a tree on elevated ground. They didn't expect to find that their choice for a location turned out to be an ancient Native American Mound. Now three years later Ethan and his friend Rachel are in search of a way to return a prize-winning sheep that has gone missing. They seek the advice of Chogan an elderly Cherokee who says to them I know all the Mounds... the large conical Mound that you speak of is a resting place where the hawk flies and the bear sleeps. It is a thousand years old and I should warn you be careful and respectful around the Mound. It has powers we don't fully understand. </p><p></p><p>Set in Pinson Tennessee the new novella; The Mound is a coming of age mystery for a middle-school teen. </p><p>www.ronteachworthliterary.com</p>
