THE BOBBSEY TWINS ON THE DEEP BLUE SEA - MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE - BY LAURA LEE HOPEThe Bobbsey Twins are two sets of twins in the same family and it seems they find adventures and mystery at every turn. This charming series was a forerunner of Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys mystery series.Recommended by The Gunston Trust for Nonviolence in Children's Literature. Ages 6-10.

“Flossie! Flossie! Look at me! I’m having a steamboat ride! Oh, look!” “I am looking, Freddie Bobbsey!” “No, you’re not! You’re playing with your doll! Look at me splash, Flossie!” A little boy with blue eyes and light, curling hair was standing on a raft in the middle of a shallow pond of water left in a green meadow after a heavy rain. In his hand he held a long pole with which he was beating the water, making a shower of drops that sparkled in the sun. On the shore of the pond, not far away, and sitting under an apple tree, was a little girl with the same sort of light hair and blue eyes as those which made the little boy such a pretty picture. Both children were fat and chubby, and you would have needed but one look to tell that they were twins. “Now I’m going to sail away across the ocean!” cried Freddie Bobbsey, the little boy on the raft, which he and his sister Flossie had made that morning by piling a lot of old boards and fence rails together. “Don’t you want to sail across the ocean, Flossie?”

Volume 11 of the popular young readers' series about a past time in 20th century American culture - in which the moral "treat others as you would like to be treated" underlies each mystery solved by two pairs of twins (Bert/Nan and Freddie/Flossie) - entertains and excites in typical fashion. This volume proves good old-fashioned family values family values never run out of style.
