Series: Abbey series connector
Why are the strange American men watching the camp? What secret is hidden in the little notebook? Is Francois a spy? And who is the red-haired Cecile - or is she Cecily? All these questions, together with episodes of kidnapping and other excitements, come together in an exciting adventure story which also explores the feelings and relationships of the main characters.
This is therefore a very important Abbey connector, especially as later Maribel marries into the Abbey clan.
Description
Rosalind Firth and her younger brother and sister, John and Gina, find that they have plunged into more than one mystery when they join boys and girls from two Swiss schools in their holiday camp on the shores of Lake Annecy.
Readers of Elsie Oxenham's Camp Keema and Swiss series will be delighted to find that in The Camp Mystery the author brings together characters from both series in this gripping tale set in the beautiful landscape of the south of France.
This is the book which explains all those frustrating references about Cecily Perowne's adventures in Switzerland in The Abbey Girls Play Up for this is the story of Cecily and how she comes to meet Rosalind and Maribel in Switzerland. (We have already met Maribel and Rosalind in Peggy and the Brotherhood).
