"Oh Look!" cried Freddie Bobbsey. "Somebody built a house right on the water!"

Sure enough, a trim little houseboat was moored at the Lake Metoka dock. On her hull was painted the name Bluebird, and on the deck was a sign: "For Sale."

This was all the Bobbsey Twins had to see. Twelve-year-old Bert and Nan and the six-year-olds, Freddie and Flossie, raced home to beg their father and mother to buy the neat little craft. Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey decided that it would be the perfect answer to the summer vacation, and so indeed it proved to be.

But all was not smooth sailing on that exciting cruise. A baffling mystery developed aboard the Bluebird, and the Bobbsey Twins became convinced that either a ghost or a stowaway was their shipmate.

How the twins solved the mystery and found the Golden Arrow makes wonderfully entertaining reading on ship or shore for younger boys and girls everywhere.
