When the Bobbsey Twins' father told them he had a mystery to solve concerning his partner's gyppo logging outfit in the West, Flossie said in alarm: "Is Mr. Everett gypping you Daddy?" Mr. Bobbsey laughed and explained the meaning of the term to the twins. This was the first of many new things the Bobbseys were to learn and see on their flying trip to the state of Washington. They also had some exciting and amusing adventures before they found out what was going on in the logging camp under the giant trees, and before they solved the Indian mystery and brought happiness to two lonely persons. Younger readers will thoroughly enjoy this lively story about their favorite twins whose adventures take them to all different parts of the country. ---from the dust jacket flap
