Description

The Corner House Girls are a close‑knit quartet of spirited teens who love planning projects and solving little mysteries around their bustling hometown. When Ruth proposes a daring houseboat outing to kick off their new Civic Betterment Club, the girls—along with their trusty housekeeper Mrs. MacCall and a curious Finnish maid—scramble to prepare a feast, invite the insightful Mr. Howbridge, and set their plans in motion. Their lively banter, the scent of fresh‑baked macaroons, and the excitement of a first‑ever voyage create a warm, inviting atmosphere that draws listeners right into the adventure.

As the boat leaves the shore, the girls encounter unexpected weather, a playful storm, and a series of puzzling clues that hint at hidden treasures beneath the waves. Together they must use their ingenuity, teamwork, and the guidance of their adult companions to navigate the challenges and uncover what lies beneath the surface. This charming, early‑twentieth‑century tale blends humor, friendship, and a touch of mystery—perfect for anyone who enjoys a gentle, spirited journey on the water.
