Legend of
Arterburn Lake
 In 1877 the first and largest train robbery of the Union Pacific Railroad took place in Big Springs, NE. Sixty thousand dollars of uncirculated twenty-dollar gold coins were stolen. Some of the coins were never recovered.
One hundred and thirty three years later (2010), three young teenagers meet when two are forced to spend the summer with their grandparents in western Nebraska. The trio is comprised of two girls and one boy from single parent homes, whose mothers are struggling to make ends meet. Visiting a local museum, they learn about the train robbery and the missing gold. When they discover it was very near their grandparent’s home they concoct a scheme to search for the missing loot.
Deceiving the mother and grandparents, these over-confident young teens secretly slip away for a weekend treasure hunt on horses, with a pack mule that’s never carried a pack, cell phones with no way to charge them, and a GPS device that only confirms they’re in the middle of nowhere. They quickly discover I-pods and lip-gloss don’t make good survival tools.
Mother Nature forms an attack while the three are camped near Arterburn Lake; the spot that legend explains might be the burial ground for the missing gold. They encounter a Nebraska summer storm, complete with high tornado-like winds, large hail, an electric sky, and gallons of rain, causing their horses to bolt and run, not to mention the wildlife that pays them nightly visits.
Nerves frayed, hungry--junk food doesn’t provide much energy--tired and disappointed, the three make plans to return empty-handed. Then one of the girls spots what she thinks could be a clue. Is it really a clue? Will it help them find the gold or has someone else already discovered it. If it turns out to be a clue, is a one hundred year old clue worthless after so many years have gone by?

Who is Lizzy the lizard lady and why did she try to stop Alexandria from boarding the boat to Dragonfly Island? After the first night, the older kids notice something's not quite right with the counselors. They have a strange odor about them and never remove their sunglasses. Why do some of the campers become ill and have to spend the night in the infirmary instead of going home? Why is the freezer in the infirmary stocked with bags of blood and where did the blood come from? Why were the cell phones taken from the campers their first night? Why are there graves on the island and why is one of them not filled in? At first, the kids think their counselors are vampires, but they soon learn otherwise and when the older kids discover the counselors are after them, they disappear into the vegetation to hide from the counselors and their frightening leader, Dr. Gylofan. They learn how to survive for almost two weeks on the island hoping for a rescue boat. Will they ever make it off of the island?
