Dee, Meg and Winnie DeChancy have a few things in common. First, they are sisters. Second they are triplets. Third, they are almost absolutely identical so the only way for the casual observer to tell them apart is by their personalities. Oh, and the fourth thing is they love racing around in their Criss Craft speedboat. In their first ever adventure the girls get the boat ready for a Spring Break race all around Schroon Lake, some 30 miles around the shoreline. But, as they prepare for a race promising "fabulous jewels" as a reward they discover that more than one person wants them to fail. In fact, more than one person would prefer they get injured, or worse! ---------------------------------- Though written today, this story is told in the style, and using some of the jargon and spellings, of something written back in the 1930s. And, that is exactly when this all takes place. It is the first in a planned trilogy of stories designed for younger and teen readers (perhaps from ages 9 through 17) but may be enjoyed by anyone feeling a bit nostalgic.

About the Author:

The original Clarence Young was actually Howard R. Garis who wrote the Uncle Wiggily books as well as many of the original Tom Swift novels a century ago. Clarence Young IV is not actually his great grandson, but is author Thomas Hudson, who by coincidence, also writes modern day Tom Swift novels a century later. Or, is it a coincidence?
