| Summary | “The Mystery of the Deserted Village” by Elbert M. Hoppenstedt is a children’s novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a boy named Ronnie Rorth, who becomes embroiled in the impending loss of his family's land and the mystery surrounding a deserted village that is set to be flooded by the St. Lawrence Seaway project. The opening chapters establish Ronnie's adventurous spirit and his strong connection to the village, as well as his determination to protect it from being erased from existence. At the start of the book, Ronnie is carefree, playing in the hayloft when he learns about a man from the Seaway authority visiting his family to discuss land acquisition. Faced with the threat of losing the abandoned village rich with personal and family history, Ronnie's resolve grows, especially as he hears snippets of heated arguments between his grandfather and the official. Alongside his brother Phil and best friend Bill, Ronnie concocts a plan to save the village, fueled by stories of its past and a budding friendship with Mr. Caldwell, a man seemingly researching the area's history. As Ronnie navigates the mystery of the deserted village, he stumbles upon secrets and hints of potential treasures hidden within its long-locked buildings, setting the stage for a riveting adventure filled with self-discovery and the weight of family legacy.
