Penned by local historian and author Frank Smoot, the new historical fiction chapter book is set in 1890s Eau Claire, weaving true historical details into a narrative following two children adventuring on the shores of Half Moon Lake. Largely inspired by the memoirs of two former Eau Clairians, Smoot also had support from CVM Director Carrie Ronnander and Archivist Jodi Kiffmeyer.
