What a lonely place for Elisabeth -- only empty summer cottages and sandy roads without cars and people. But she does find a friend in Henry, the boy with shabby clothes who lives on the Point. Together they must solve the mystery of the burnings and thefts—and do it during a raging hurricane!
This is a fun book to read if you're from Maine and/or have been to Pemaquid Point. It was written in 1957, and the absence of violence in it made it very funny!! Great mindless reading.
