Description

Two sisters, Bess and Belle Robinson, spend a bright spring day on their porch dreaming of a perfect seaside escape. Bess’s boundless energy pushes her to rev up the family car, while Belle’s steadier nature keeps the plans from spiraling out of control. Their banter captures the excitement of a small New England town on the brink of summer adventure.

When they finally set off for Lookout Beach, the girls discover that the seaside town holds more than sand and surf. A sudden strike, mysterious clues at a spring house, and whispers of runaway youngsters draw the sisters into a lively investigation that tests their courage and quick thinking. With the help of friends like Cora and the ever‑reliable mechanic Patrick, they turn their motor‑powered road trip into a hunt for truth.

The story balances light‑hearted humor with a genuine mystery, offering listeners a nostalgic glimpse of early‑20th‑century life and the thrill of youthful determination. It’s a perfect listen for anyone who loves spirited characters, breezy dialogue, and a dash of intrigue on the open road.
