"The Phantom Yacht" by Carol Norton is a mystery and adventure novel for young adults, likely written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a quaint seaside community, the story follows the central character Dories Moore as she grapples with the emotions of losing her beloved friend Nann Sibbett to a move to Boston and facing a daunting journey to live with her estranged Great-Aunt Jane at the eerie Siquaw Point. The book outlines themes of friendship, longing, and the sense of adventure intertwined with elements of the supernatural. At the start of the novel, Dories is portrayed as a melancholic girl, mourning the impending departure of her best friend Nann. Despite their hopeful vows of sisterhood, Dories feels abandoned and distressed about her uncertain future, which includes a forced stay with her aunt, whom she perceives as unpleasant and wealthy. As the girls share tender goodbyes, the plot delves into Dories’ feelings of rebellion against her circumstances, including their family's financial struggles and the mysterious history of her aunt’s home. The opening intricately sets the stage for the adventure that is to come, hinting at spooky elements with mention of ghosts and the haunting legacy of Darlina, the last occupant of the now-ruined old house that is said to harbor secrets.
