About This Book

A spirited girl and her close friend agree to safeguard a mysterious small box entrusted to them by a young inventor, setting off a chain of intrigue as rivals and spies maneuver to seize it. The narrative alternates social scenes and lively outdoor action—rehearsals, boat races, camping life—and escalates into perilous episodes including being set adrift, marooned on an island, a stampede, and inventive rescues. Friendship, loyalty, and resourcefulness are tested as secret motives are exposed, alliances shift, and the girls use courage and cleverness to protect the box until its contents and the truth are finally revealed.
