The Old Mansion's Secret

A really sweet little Christmas story about kids that come across a mysterious old mansion, thought to be empty and abandoned, which has a lit Christmas tree in a front window! The cousins at first think someone new has moved into town but then realize that isn't the case at all. The place is still empty, still shabby, and still has no electricity. So how's there a tree?

I loved that mystery-solving angle and I enjoyed how the kids related to each other and to the parents/aunt and uncle. This would be a great family read for a wide range of ages.
