Lost and Found Colony is a lively and humorous mystery that keeps Jinx, her faithful Jack Russell terrier, Petey, and her new friend, Max, scrambling for clues. While vacationing on Roanoke Island in North Carolina with her mother, Jinx must write a research paper to pass her "boring old history class." When she has a ghostly experience with several figures from the past, Jinx realizes the ghost is somehow connected to the mystery of the Roanoke Island's legendary Lost Colony. As she struggles to discover what they want and what might have happened to those early settlers who disappeared without a trace, Jinx and Max gain a new respect for the dauntless pioneers of our past. And they even manage to solve a four-hundred-year-old mystery!
