Miracle at the Mission is the second book of the Westthorpe Academy Mysteries. After recovering from their daring exploits in the exciting first book of the series, The Ghosts of Westthorpe Academy, best friends Joe Pryce and Pete Figueroa travel to California for another thrilling action-adventure. There they meet a mysterious yet saintly old Franciscan padre who warns them of the dangers they would face. Drawn into a series of events filled with suspense, mystery, and espionage, the boys find they have become suspects in an assassination attempt involving the President of the United States. While proving their innocence, the boys must rely on the guidance of the old padre, who happens to bear a strange resemblance to Saint Junipero Serra. The story reaches its climax at another mission—Mission San Carlos Borromeo—where the boys, and a large gathering of people, witness an incredible miracle that changes their lives forever.
