About This Book

A group of enterprising young girls tour the Hudson by automobile and encounter a succession of adventures and small mysteries: forest scrimmages, run-ins with gypsies, an apparently haunted pool, and an attic puzzle that points to an enemy of one companion. A dangerous abduction attempt by a drunken tramp is thwarted by a motorcyclist, while a secretive hermit and masked revelers add intrigue. When a major fire threatens Ten Eyck Hall they organize a brigade and fight the blaze, and afterward personal misunderstandings, romantic threads, and long-hidden connections are explained before the party parts ways.
