by L. Frank Baum

→

Book 1 in the Mary Louise detective series for children, predating Nancy Drew by many years. By L. Frank Baum writing as Edith Van Dyne.

Mary Louise Burrows is a fifteen-year-old girl with unusual maturity (though the other girls in her boarding school find her somewhat priggish). When confronted with the fact that her grandfather is suspected of treason against the United States, she runs away from school, hoping to meet him and be able to prove his innocence. But she doesn't know where to run, or whom to approach.
