#1 – Bucket of Fish
One day, after fishing on the pier at Hamilton Island in 1934, 13 year-old Walt Jenkins saw two men load a body into the back of a Model-T Ice Truck. He ran away, but left behind his Bucket of Fish. When he returned later, the Bucket of Fish was gone! Walt and his friend George Bailey (GB) set out to solve the mystery. The boys soon find themselves tracking down bootleggers, a crooked policeman and a hired killer. Their detective work involves Walt pedaling hard with GB on the handlebars, George Bailey shining a killer’s shoes for 5 cents and his girlfriend Sharon disguised as a 7 year-old taking notes in the next booth while crooks plan another murder. Her pencil is hidden in a doll named Alice.
#3 – The Great Paddleboard Race
The Great Paddleboard Race is over and George Bailey and Associates have another case. This time George, Walt and Sharon need some expert help because gambling appears to be involved. They recruit their fellow classmate Henry Lido, a caddie at the Hamilton Island Golf Course and the hardest working kid on the Island. He also knows a lot about gambling. Fans of the George Bailey series will enjoy the addition of Henry to the team. It’s another fun fast -paced mystery set in the 1930’s when the new sports of surfing and paddleboard racing first appeared on the California Coast.
#4 – Missing Mamba
There’s a Black Mamba loose on Hamilton Island and George Bailey Associates Detectives are on the case. This time it’s Sharon’s turn to tell the story. The team now have George Bailey’s old Model T Ice Truck to use in tracking down Margie the Mamba. Fans of the earlier George Bailey books will have fun as they follow George Bailey, Walt, Henry Lido and, of course, Sharon. The story is another fast paced search for the dangerous snake — and a dangerous human.
