About This Book

A group of schoolboy friends embark on a Great Lakes cruise after securing passage with a freighter captain, expecting adventure and honest chores. Their voyage alternates routine shipboard life with escalating dangers: accidents on land and sea, fires, an elevator blaze, a chase, mysterious strangers, caves and island explorations, illness and capture, and a baffling search that uncovers an unexpected object and a hidden secret. Teamwork, resourcefulness, and timely rescues steer the boys through peril toward a final discovery that resolves the dangers endured.
