The Slipper Point Mystery

A small circle of curious girls uncover a hidden chamber containing a puzzling diagram of letters and figures that suggests a long-buried secret. Their discovery turns into a summer-long amateur investigation as they copy, study, and puzzle over the code. They follow clues, consult local lore, and examine old houses and documents while testing the theory that seafaring robbers once concealed valuables nearby. Piece by piece the group deciphers the riddle, unearths a concealed cache, and untangles fragments of past history. The adventure concludes before summer ends, leaving the friends with resolved questions and changed perspectives.
