About this ebook
The Briar family is off to Peru! They explore small towns within the Sacred Valley, go horseback riding up into ancient salt mines, help weave alpaca wool into blankets, and then travel to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas.” While Ethan and Ella are exploring the incredible site, they come across a wooden bridge that leads them to a mysterious stone structure. What is it, why haven’t they heard about it—and why does it seem to look like a snake, a bird, and a puma at the same time?
With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Greetings from Somewhere chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

The Mystery Across the Secret Bridge - Harper Paris
CHAPTER 1
Salt Mines on a Cliff
Ethan Briar peered over the edge of the rocky cliff. "Whoa! That’s a big drop!" he exclaimed. The roaring river down below now looked like a skinny ribbon.
Yeah, I believe you,
said his twin sister, Ella, nervously. She kept her gaze straight ahead and clutched Butterscotch’s reins. Butterscotch
was the nickname she had given her Peruvian Paso horse. Ethan called his horse Keeper
because he liked soccer.
Ella, Ethan, and their parents, Andy and Josephine, were horseback riding through the Sacred Valley in Peru. The guide, Fernando, led their tour group along a dirt path that went steeply uphill. Towering mountains and lush, green grass surrounded them.
The Sacred Valley was the Briars’ second stop in Peru. Their first stop had been the capital city of Lima. In Lima, they explored catacombs, which were ancient passageways underground, and swam in the Pacific Ocean. It was the same ocean they swam in when they had visited their cousins in California the year before!
The Briar family was taking a big trip around the world. Mrs. Briar was writing about their trip for the Brookeston Times, which was their hometown newspaper. The family had already been to Italy, France, China, Kenya, and India since leaving Brookeston several months ago.
