About This Book

The story follows three young friends who spend a summer at a seaside cottage, filling their days with beach play, porch parties, and explorations of the coast. They befriend a frail neighbor whose health and mortgage worries prompt the children to devise small, earnest ways to help. Episodes range from fogbound outings and a threatened fire to a sailing party and a trip to a nearby city for a bazaar and a church visit. The narrative gently emphasizes childhood camaraderie, resourcefulness, and the supportive bonds of family and community during a long holiday.
