Hardcover Special Editions - The Happy Hollisters

The Hollisters are on their way to Boston on the trail of a long-lost ship captain’s log. Famous movie star Gregory Grant is also headed east to star in a movie about clipper ships. He invites the children to come along, offering them parts in the movie while they search for more clues!

When Mr. Hollister’s sport and toy store, The Trading Post, is robbed, his main concern is for his invention, a new type of collapsible canoe. He is therefore surprised to discover that a Geiger counter and a couple of pickaxes are the only missing items.

Gram and Gramp Hollister invite the Hollister children to visit Québec for Mardi Gras and the annual Winter Carnival. Their visit coincides with the strange disappearance of a master sleigh maker, and the children set out to find him and experience new adventures in a most interesting and historic location.

On their first adventure outside of the Western Hemisphere, the Happy Hollisters travel to Denmark for their summer vacation. During the flight to Copenhagen, the children meet a member of the Danish royal family’s staff who is carrying a valuable reproduction of the “Little Mermaid,” the famous statue that overlooks the harbor in Copenhagen. Upon landing in Denmark, the figurine goes missing, and the sleuthing begins!
