Reading this as an adult really stretches the bounds of credulity. The way the police just casually worked with a bunch of 12-year-olds was just beyond belief. However, Mini-Me loved it, and said it was her favourite of the series so far.

I spent a week or more at my Grandparents during the summer. They had all the Bobbsey Twin books and many Nancy Drew books. So I would lay in my Grandmother's garden and read. I remember enjoy all of the adventure of the Bobbsey Twins.

Same idea as Enid Blyton's classic adventure novels, but not as good

5 stars because it was the first book I ever read for pleasure, and it didn't bore me into never reading again.

Another great Bobbsey Twins book.
The Bobbsey's have had a great time in the country but their Aunt has written and invited them to the seashore for the month of August. How nice to spend you summer this way. My children have not had this advantage. I wish they had. I have cousins down near the ocean and they have invited us down for the day, but we have not taken advantage even of that.
Many adventures, again, await the children. Many things will happen. New friends will be made and some friends from the country will also come and visit the shore and make things more merry.
Here are 2 of my favorite quotes from this book...
""Queer," remarked Nan, as they hurried on. "The two girls I thought the most of in Meadow Brook were poor: Nettie Prentice, and Nellie the little cash girl at the fresh-air camp. Somehow, poor girls seem so real and the talk to you so close--I mean they seem to just speak right out of their eyes and hearts."
"That's what we call sincerity, daughter," said Mrs. Bobbsey. "You see, children who have trials learn to appreciate more keenly than we, who have everything we need. That appreciation shows in their eyes, and so they seem closer to you, as you say."" (location 31 of 1296)
Actually I am going to share 3 quotes as these 2 go together.
""It will be a dreadful storm," said Aunt Emily to Mrs. Bobbsey. "We must all go into the sitting room and pray for the sailors."
Everyone in the house assembled in the large sitting room, and Uncle William led the prayers."
""I'm so glad we prayed," said little Flossie to Freddie, when she heard the good news.
"It was Uncle William prayed the loudest," insisted Freddie, believing firmly that to reach heaven a long and loud prayer is always best.
"But we all helped," declared his twin sister, while surely the angels had listened to even the sleepy whisper of the little ones, who had asked help for the poor sailors in their night of peril."
Love the adventures and troubles the kids get into that always work out in the end.
Love the moral story with prayer and Bible reading in each.
Love the family/friends/community that stand together and help each other.
Already started the next book... The Bobbsey Twins at School.
