Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Meadow-Brook Girls Afloat; Or, the Stormy Cruise of the Red Rover" by Janet Aldridge is a middle-grade novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventurous story follows a group of spirited young girls, known as the Meadow-Brook Girls, and their guardian, Miss Elting, as they embark on a summer vacation aboard a houseboat named the "Red Rover" on Lake Winnipesaukee. Throughout their journey, the girls face various challenges and mysterious occurrences that test their resolve and develop their character. At the start of the book, the Meadow-Brook Girls encounter adversity as they attempt to prepare the old houseboat for their summer vacation. They meet Dee Dickinson, a somewhat untrustworthy character, who warns them about the condition of the boat, raising suspicions about its safety. Despite their initial concerns, the girls enthusiastically set about cleaning and decorating their new temporary home. However, their excitement is quickly replaced by alarm when they discover that the boat has mysteriously drifted away, having had its mooring rope cut. As they launch a search for their beloved craft, a series of mishaps leads to a tumultuous and wet adventure, foreshadowing the trials they will face on their journey.
