| Summary |
"Billie Bradley on Lighthouse Island; Or, The Mystery of the Wreck" by Janet D. Wheeler is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Billie Bradley and her friends, Laura and Vi, as they embark on various adventures, starting with finding themselves lost in the woods during a botany lesson. The narrative is infused with elements of mystery and adventure, particularly revolving around their encounters in the woods, including a cryptic and enigmatic man named Hugo Billings and the lingering memory of a thief known as "The Codfish." The opening of the novel introduces Billie, Laura, and Vi as they attempt to gather ferns for their school project, only to discover they are lost in the woods as rain begins to fall. Their situation grows more intense as they navigate through the darkening forest, fueled by their imaginations that conjure fears of meeting the infamous Codfish. Their fears lead them to a mysterious hut in the woods where they encounter Hugo Billings, a peculiar man with a haunted look. The girls must decide whether to trust him while grappling with thoughts of danger that loom large in their minds, setting the stage for the unfolding mystery of the wreck that connects to their new summer adventure on Lighthouse Island.
