Nan and Bert Bobbsey are set for another mystery, this time while the family takes a vacation to Lighthouse Point. Interestingly, "Laura Lee Hope" was a pseudonym covering several authors for this venerable children's series. Inner flap lists other available Bobbsey Twins books, with the latest being "Bobbsey Twins in Echo Valley" (1943). Title page notes that while this version was published in compliance with wartime regulations, it is complete and unabridged.
