Lila Carter thought her history project would be simple; until she discovered something impossible. One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence is... missing. Not crossed out. Not explained. Just gone. At first, it seems like a mistake. But when the same name disappears from every book, every list, and even people's memories, Lila realizes something far more dangerous is happening. History isn't just being forgotten. It's being erased. As clues vanish and the world itself begins to shift, Lila races to uncover the truth before the name; and everything connected to it; is lost forever. With only a fading journal, a hidden message, and her own determination to guide her, she must follow the mystery all the way to Independence Hall; the place where it all began. But something is trying to stop her. And the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it fights back. Because if Lila fails, no one will ever know the name was missing at all. A thrilling, fast-paced adventure filled with mystery, history, and just the right touch of the unknown, The Vanishing Founder reminds us that every name matters; and some stories refuse to be forgotten.
