About This Book

A group of boys accept a dare to camp for a week on an island with a spooky reputation, traveling by small boats and setting up a lakeside camp. They are roused at night by a strange, humanlike cry and begin to suspect rival pranksters, then launch daytime explorations that reveal a mysterious cabin and traces of past fires. The boys confront unexpected dangers and an unwelcome discovery on the shore, devise a bold plan, and, with the help of unforeseen allies, uncover who built the cabin and resolve the island mystery.
