One Came Home by Amy Timberlake
In this historical fiction, adventure mystery, follow Georgie as she pursues the truth of her sister’s disappearance. Set in Placid, Wisconsin in 1871, during the largest recorded pigeon migration, Agatha has run off after misguided words by Georgie. The sheriff later finds a body wearing Agatha’s dress. Convinced that it could not really be her sister, Georgie takes off herself to find the truth and along the way runs into several hair-raising adventures. It is a good thing that Georgie is really good with a shotgun--but can she outwit them all to find the truth and return home?
