About This Book

A group of resourceful boys take a motorboat upriver along the Colorado, where ordinary routines are interrupted by a series of mysterious disappearances and unexplained happenings both aboard and ashore. Their travel narrative blends everyday boatwork and comic animal companionship with suspenseful episodes—phantom boarders, river pirates, hauntings, arrests, and surprising guests—while the boys pursue clues, mount night adventures, and follow leads. An enigmatic clue in the rocks drives a final investigation that resolves the central mystery and brings the long journey to its close.
