Ruth Fielding on Cliff Island; Or, The Old Hunter's Treasure Box

Ruth Fielding is the kind of girl whose curiosity and sense of responsibility never waver, even on a crisp September morning spent shelling beans in the shade of the Red Mill. When her friend Helen mentions a train wreck at Applegate Crossing, the news ignites Ruth’s instinct to act; she immediately decides to join Tom Cameron and head to the accident scene, determined to find out what happened to the missing passenger.

The crash has left the railway workers tight‑lipped and the community uneasy, and Ruth’s arrival promises a fresh perspective. As she approaches the tangled tracks, she senses that the disaster may hide more than broken cars—perhaps a secret tied to an old hunter’s hidden treasure. With her loyal friends at her side, Ruth prepares to uncover clues, confront danger, and protect those she cares about, setting the stage for a lively adventure on the rugged cliffs of the island.
