The False Faces Louis Joseph Vance

The False Faces By Louis Joseph Vance Laney McIntyre is an ordinary 13-year-old trying hard to cope with her divorced parents -- her mother, an enigmatic antique dealer, and her father, a man Laney's mother sees as an impractical, incompetent rchaeologist. Tom Walsh is half-Iroquois and struggling to come to terms with his father's death and a move away from the reserve where he grew up. One day Laney and Tom discover Iroquois false-face masks in a nearby bog. They soon learn that these are much more than mere ancient artifacts. Tom and Laney must experience harrowing fear and danger before realizing the full power the masks hold over each other, and especially over the people who possess them. The two friends must come to grips with the terrible peril posed by trying to control both the masks and the emotions they engender in their owners, a power that definitely does not want to be controlled.
