The summer of 1912 belonged to the girls of Cedar Lake. When Cora Kimball's new motorboat arrives at the dock, she refuses to wait for the boys to show her how to run it. With her friends Bess and Belle Robinson in tow, she takes the helm and steers into open water, where adventure awaits around every island. A near-collision with a steamboat on that first outing sends the girls tumbling into deeper mysteries: who is the hermit living alone on Fern Island, and what secrets does the enigmatic Jim Peters keep about the islands scattered across the lake? Vintage adventure meets Progressive Era independence in this spirited tale of girls who refuse to wait for permission to explore their world.
