Three-Zee in the Mountains Jr John A Miller

Spring is springing in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, and Three-Zee Zook (Zelanie Zephora Zook, to be exact) and her best friend, Bambi Bamberger, are enjoying the emerging wildflowers and budding branches as they begin their new jobs at the luxurious Mountain Woods resort. That is, they're enjoying it until Three-Zee stumbles upon the ghost and dead body of a handsome young man, a budding Hollywood star and stepson of the resort's manager. Things become more complicated when a grumpy old man who owns a neighboring property bordering the resort's private lake decides to use Three-Zee, Bambi, and Three-Zee's mother and aunt as targets for his double-barrel shotgun. Three-Zee barely escapes death when a lightning strike misses her by feet and then when a shelf-load of kitchen utensils falls on her inside a darkened storeroom, except that nothing about either incident is exactly as it seems. Add to that a head chef with the personality of a pit bull with hemorrhoids and a couple of equally pleasant guests, and Three-Zee and Bambi are left wondering why they ever took this idyllic job.
