Tybout, Ella Middleton. The smuggler. †$1.50. Lippincott.
7–31227.
Three American girls seek refuge from hayfever on a Canadian island and instead of passing an uneventful summer they find themselves involved in a series of strange happenings by a band of clever smugglers who pose as their friends and use them as a blind to pass their ill-gotten goods over the border. The story is told in a sprightly fashion and there is a pretty love tale and two not so pretty but more dramatic. All in all, it is an interesting novel with a pleasing mixture of love, mystery, adventure, tragedy and humor.
