yarn in the junior series offered by famous Ellery Queen
mystery-story team (under the signature, Ellery Queen, Jr.) is a first-rate
mystery and exciting reading. Djuna with his Scottie, Champ, goes to spend
the summer in a coast village. Right away, things begin to happen. He makes
a new friend who likes the same things he likes and who introduces him to
some grand new sports, such as lobstering, sailing, and exploring a deserted
island. In the midst of the fun an exciting mystery develops and Djuna
follows one clue after another. Though the thing might have baffled a
grown-up detective, Djuna uses his head (and his Scottie’s nose) and
solves it in the end.
