Frank and Joe, with friends, investigate a missing child and a missing collection; the original and revised editions differ in the collection and plot details.
The boys encounter a threatening stranger and ghost-like activity; in the revised-edition account, a supposed ghost is explained as a person in white robes.
The plot includes a missing child, theft and danger to the boys; one account also mentions ice-boat sabotage and near collisions. Consider whether this suspenseful peril suits your reader.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
