About This Book

A group of adventurous young motorists travel to a mountain summer camp where an outing meant for leisure turns into a mystery after their automobile is taken, bogus theater tickets and two suspicious men appear, and strange lights and sounds point to a cavern with a secret passage. Facing storms, lost trails, and temporary capture, the girls apply courage and practical mechanical skill to uncover a criminal plot, free imprisoned victims, and mount a rescue. The episodic chapters blend roadside comedy, camp routines, and mounting suspense while highlighting companionship, resourcefulness, and self-reliance.
