An Ocean City Mystery

By: Steve Leadley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ocean City is truly a wonderful place, full of summertime adventure. The beaches, the boardwalk, swimming, surfing, fishing, music, amusements... the possibilities are endless. However in 1941, these pleasures are tempered by the likelihood that the US would soon join World War II.
With their parents employed in the country’s defense, Stacy and Walter are sent to stay in Ocean City with their great-aunt at the majestic Flanders Hotel. It seems like the best place possible for the children to have some semblance of summer fun despite the gathering clouds of conflict. However, the brother and sister find themselves distracted from the wondrous attractions of the seaside resort when they become embroiled in a mystery. Shipwrecks, treasure, Nazi spies, ghosts all factor into their incredible adventure-- as does a girl who would one day become a Hollywood star and European royalty. Join Stacy, Walter and a young Grace Kelly as they traverse clues and dangers by the Jersey seaside.
