About This Book

A young girl’s summer journey opens with a river steamer and a sudden separation in a bustling city that sets off a worried search by family and friends. She then travels by coastal steamers and small craft, disembarking at seaside towns and camps where episodic adventures — races, mishaps, new acquaintances, and comic misunderstandings — test her courage and resourcefulness. The narrative moves from brisk travel scenes to domestic interludes, emphasizing companionship, quick thinking, and the charm of varied landscapes, and concludes with the comforting reunions and celebrations that reward perseverance and good humor.
