About This Book

The story follows a group of spirited young women who spend a summer at a seaside resort, enjoying motoring excursions and beach outings while becoming involved in local troubles and mysteries. They intervene in a berry-patch strike, care for animals, seek runaway youths, become lost on country roads, and join with neighboring boys to mount rescues from hazards on land and in the surf. Practical resourcefulness, steady friendship, and a concern for fairness drive their actions as misunderstandings and secrets are uncovered and reconciled, culminating in restored safety and clear resolutions by season's end.
