The book follows two siblings, Oliver and Janet Peyton, as they navigate a challenging visit to their cousin Jasper's home, uncovering family secrets and encountering mysterious neighbors. The story hints at themes of adventure, mystery, and family dynamics, particularly focusing on Oliver's internal struggles and desire to break free from the unease he senses around him. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Oliver Peyton, who feels a mix of irritation and curiosity about his surroundings as he walks along a dusty road in Medford Valley. The oppressive atmosphere of his cousin Jasper's new mansion, along with the changes in Jasper himself, creates a sense of unease for Oliver, who is unaware of the deeper troubles that lie ahead. As he grapples with feelings of boredom and irritation, Oliver resolves to escape but soon finds himself thrust into unexpected encounters, including meeting the Beeman, a kind-hearted neighbor, and becoming embroiled in unraveling the family tensions surrounding Jasper and Anthony Crawford. The opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of relationships and personal growth against the backdrop of a summer filled with adventure.
