About This Book

A lively juvenile tale follows a Central High girls' crew through summer adventures at Lake Luna: suspicion falls on a mysterious man seen on an island and a street performer with a clever performing monkey, while the girls confront thefts, lost boats, and risky rescues. As they practice and puzzle over missing equipment and local rumors, teamwork, quick thinking, and community help lead to recovery of a stolen shell and final triumph in an important canoe race.
