The adventures for the Hollisters begin as soon as they move into their new house on the shore on Pine Lake in Shoreham. First, the moving van carrying their toys and their father's important new invention disappears. Next, they learn that their house may be haunted, with a treasure hidden somewhere inside! Right away they all set out to solve these mysteries.
Each one of the Hollister children - Pete (age 12), Pam (10), Ricky (7), Holly (6) and Sue (4) - plays an important role in finding clues, along with their parents, who are always ready to join in on the excitement. Even Zip, the collie, and White Nose, the cat, are part of the family and find thrilling adventures of their own.
As the Hollisters explore their new town and make friends, they discover what happened to the moving van and learn more about the mystery surrounding their new home. Excitement abounds when a secret stairway is discovered. Then, on the trail of a mysterious intruder, their chase leads them to a deserted hut on nearby Blackberry Island.
"Jerry West" was a pen name for Happy Hollisters author Andrew E. Svenson (1910-1975). All 33 volumes in this children's mystery series were written based on the real-life adventures of his own six children as they were growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s and 1960s. A prolific author with more than 80 children's books to his credit, he is also known for his work outlining, editing, writing, and/or rewriting for the Hardy Boys (as "Franklin W. Dixon"), the Bobbsey Twins (as "Laura Lee Hope"), and the Tollivers (as "Alan Stone"). Out of print for more than 50 years, the entire Happy Hollisters series has now been reissued by the author's family in paperback and digital formats, with additional new products coming soon!
