About This Book

A group of young friends spending a summer at a riverside resort discover a hidden cell and a puzzling code suggesting buried pirate treasure. Two girls become engrossed in deciphering the strange combination of letters and figures, comparing it to maps and assembling clues gleaned from local history, secret hideaways, and an enigmatic tin box. Their investigation leads them through cellar passages, canoe outings, and small-town revelations as they piece together Roundtree's past, Miss Camilla's connection, and a long-buried secret. The narrative mixes suspense, puzzle-solving, friendship, and summer adventure, culminating in a discovery that resolves the mystery before the season's end.
