About This Book
Two resourceful girls vacationing on a quiet bay encounter a reclusive island woman, a secretive gypsy child, and unexplained signs that lead them into a web of theft, kidnapping, and hidden treasure. Their summer days mix peaceful outdoor scenes—canoes, island camps, and moonlit rows—with tense discoveries: a stolen trunk, coded markings, and an abduction that prompts a nighttime pursuit. Alongside local helpers and perilous sea crossings, the girls combine courage and quick thinking to unravel clues, confront mysterious figures, and recover what was lost, with loyalty and daring guiding them through successive rescues and revelations.
