About This Book

A quartet of resourceful boys organize a summer outing to a remote lake, outfit a camp, and guard their gear against rival youths. The account follows their boating and fishing excursions, encounters with a solitary hermit, a frightening but ultimately explained ghostly mystery, and several perilous episodes: storms, getting lost in a swamp, the loss of a raft, cave exploration, and pursuit of wild animals. Practical outdoor skills, campcraft, and teamwork drive the action, and the narrative resolves with a daring rescue and the unraveling of the strange voice that haunted their trip.
