About This Book

The story follows four Kenway sisters and their friends on a summer automobile tour that mixes picnics, camping, and small-town encounters. Episodes combine light humor and mild peril — including a rattlesnake that halts the party, a tin peddler, dealings with Romany folk, and an investigation prompted by found clues. Interludes describe domestic preparations, resourceful problem-solving, and friendships tested by unexpected events. The narrative proceeds through a sequence of linked adventures that culminate in a dramatic rescue and a warm return home.
