This charming story follows the lives of four sisters—Ruth, Agnes, Dot, and Tess—who embark on new adventures during their summer vacation, particularly around the intriguing setting of a houseboat. The girls’ plans are intertwined with themes of family, friendship, and youthful mischief, as they navigate various escapades brought on by their spirited personalities. At the start of the book, we find the Corner House bustling with excitement as Ruth is busy preparing for a luncheon gathering with friends to discuss forming a Civic Betterment Club. The scene quickly escalates as Ruth's younger sisters, Dot and Tess, get themselves into a commotion involving a barrel, resulting in Dot’s beloved doll being crushed. Tension builds as the narrative introduces Neale, a local boy with news about his father, which adds a layer of emotion to the unfolding events. Amid the humorous chaos, the sisters contemplate an upcoming houseboat adventure, which promises further excitement and challenges, not just with their personal dynamics but also within their broader community engagements. The opening sets the stage for a delightful exploration of youthful ambition, community involvement, and the various dilemmas that come with both. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
