A spirited summer begins when three lively siblings—Jane, Jack, and Ellen—receive an exuberant invitation from their friend Mabel to join a yacht cruise along the New England coast. Their father's easygoing approval turns the porch chatter into plans for a breezy July departure from City Island, promising sun‑soaked days, salty breezes, and the promise of adventure on the open water.
As the crew gathers their essentials—bathing suits, Camp Fire regalia, and Jack’s trusty banjo—their excitement builds into a playful rivalry of who will bring the most fun. The novel captures the charm of early‑20th‑century seaside leisure, the camaraderie of the Camp Fire Girls, and the innocent anticipation of a holiday that could turn ordinary summer days into unforgettable memories.
