It’s 1966 and Gus, Elsbeth and Sigfried are at
Gus’s grandparent’s cottage resort, Loon Harbour. The summer is hot as is the plot to this
story. The gang meets a young girl named Willie who works at Seven Whistles the
fancy resort beside cottages and across the lake from Moose Island where the
kids swim. The hotel is drawing regulars
from the cottage resort and it is suffering.
There is something mysterious afoot across the lake when a family member
goes missing and one off the staff is blamed.
Things
really heat up when Gus and his friends get caught up in the mystery. There are
a lot of funky things going on and that’s what makes the story a real page
turner. I give this story 5 golden canoes for excellent story telling by Mr. Lazar.
I highly recommend this to middle graders and adults alike for a fun yet mysterious
read.
