A little about the story

One hot August afternoon, a group of friends takes a motorboat up a winding river in Southern Wessex to camp on an island that seems to belong to no one. But the island has its ruins, its odd visitors and a weird sound at night, and the boys soon have a mystery on their hands.

Herbert Strang tells a lively holiday adventure full of boating, camping, fires, rescues and ghostly goings-on. Perfect for summer reading.
