Here I go, with the great Augusta Huiell Seaman, who lived from 1879 to 1950. Some of my favourite mysteries are hers. They are genuinely MYSTERIOUS mysteries instead of making the crux about a crime: the true nature of this word that so few adult writers attempt. Mysteriousness at its best: any question that we set out to answer can be a wonderful mystery!

My thorough, immense pleasure, Madame Augusta Huiell Seaman! Such an extraordinarily compelling, non-crime, original, wholly mysterious mystery.... hailing from 1919 to boot! The manners and Canadian / American history, recent to publishing time, are educational, special features.

There is no stopping this wonderful book now! I love the highly natural events at working on a clue, not knowing its meaning but trying ideas. Some might not work but from them, spring answers. Some might be fortuitously gained but not arbitrarily or irrelevantly. These girls are searching in the right places with good reason. They have set me to such a fevor pitch that I'm crazy to see how everything comes out!

This is fascinating and original and I love looking at the manners of one-hundred years ago in time. This is the please about books that depicted their own modern time that have become old to us, versus historical fiction doing its best to fabricate antiquity. I love great mysteries that age naturally and become historical on their own. I am as keen to learn the secret on Slipper Point island as the story's girls!

It is my pleasure and treat to rejoin the unprecedented Augusts Huiell Seaman for a mystery novel that is genuinely mysterious. It is independent on the crutch of a crime plot devise. It is purely about girls discovering a secret, relishing it, and then going to work on it themselves. It is a thrill all of its own. I want authors to know the absence of legal matters makes plots more exciting, by leaps and bounds.
