In Camp on the Big Sunflower

The story follows a group of boys camped along a river who hide their boats, forage for clams and shells, and manage camp life while guarding against local pranksters. Nighttime alarms, a puzzling band of unknown shell gatherers, and the discovery of traps and strange finds prompt a string of short adventures and investigations. Practical outdoor skills, planning, and moments of danger mix with humor and rivalry as leadership shifts among the boys. Gradual observation, cleverness, and teamwork uncover the causes of the mysteries and bring the camping season to a calm resolution.
