The Slipper Point Mystery

Summer at Manituck River holds more than swimming and lazy afternoons for Sally Carter and Doris Craig. When the local girl and the newcomer from the hotel meet by chance, their instant connection sparks an expedition that will reshape their entire vacation. On Slipper Point, they discover a hidden cave, and within it, a mysterious scrap of paper that hints at buried treasure and a pirate's secret past. As they dig into local lore, the girls find themselves racing against time to solve a puzzle left behind generations ago, following clues that lead them deeper into the mystery. Seaman writes with the kind of gentle urgency that made 1919 readers stay up past their bedtimes, turning a summer friendship into something that feels like the most important adventure in the world. For anyone who has ever explored a cave, believed in hidden treasure, or wondered what secrets the past might hold, this novel delivers the pure, undiluted thrill of discovery.
