About This Book

Six friends embark on a motor-boat cruise down a river and encounter a sequence of outdoor adventures that test their wits and courage. Campfires and fishing give way to a puzzling theft and the finding of a hidden cache, prompting the boys to open a mysterious box and face disappointment. Tension rises with the appearance of a peculiar man in a blue-moon sweater and a river pirate, leading to daylight and moonlight chases, a drifting raft episode, and defensive stands at camp. Practical leadership, teamwork, and resourcefulness see them through pursuit and capture to a final resolution that restores order and good spirits.
