Gale's Gold Ring

Gale Merryweather is unlucky. Even her name spells trouble. G-a-l-e (like a violent winter storm), and she feels helpless because of her misfortunes. Until one day, the ride operator of the carousel at the park in Providence, Rhode Island, gives Gale the answer to all her problems. All she has to do is catch the gold ring. Catch the gold ring on the side post of the carousel, and any wish she might have is sure to come true.

However, Gale's obsession with luck and the gold ring suddenly vanish when she soon encounters a mysterious friend, whose troubles appear to be much greater than hers. It seems that Autumn's father has died in a suspicious fire. Gale agrees to help her new friend, Autumn, find the two men who questioned Autumn's father shortly before the fire, and who Autumn believes may have set the fire after her father refused to help them. Autumn can only remember her father mentioning slavery and an underground railroad, the day after their meeting.

Will Gale catch the elusive gold ring, and will she help her new friend solve the mystery of "The Legend of Lincoln's Lost Gold".
