The series is set in a fictional Cape Cod town, where four feisty preteens have become friends while attending the local yacht club's sailing school. Mollie, Abigail, Laura and Muffy form a secret mystery club, the Eel Grass Girls, whose motto is "do the right thing." They are given ample opportunity when they learn that their quaint seaside communtity has a dark side.

I have to say that this book is the best. I know the author and she really did a good job on it. It's the type of book you can't put down. The book is about four girls who meet at the Yacht Harbor Sailing School: Muffy, Mollie, Laura and Abigail (The Eel Grass Girls), who find a dead body on an old fishing boat. And then that body disappears before anyone besides them could come and investigate. They decide to team up together and try to find out about this body and prove it was really there to other people, and they do much more than only that..

I will say it again: I LOVED this book. It was absolutly amazing. I couldn't put it down. I literally read it in 2 hours it was so good. I recommend it to every one.

The book Murder Aboard the California Girl is a great mystery. It is about these four girls, the Eel Grass Girls, that are a group that loves to solve myterires. They are in a sailing classfor the summer, and while sailing, they see a dead body on the California Girl. They then try to solve the mystery about, but end up with a huge mystery hat was involved in the killing.

I really liked the book because it was very suspenseful and I love mysteries! At times I didn't like it so much because sometimes the author would confuse you with the characters, so it was a little hard to comprehend, but al and all it was a good book. My favorite character was Laura. She had a very good attitude about things, and she would not stop something without finishing it first.

My favorite part was on p. 59 when Laura was a t the Nor' Easter looking for the waitress, but only found Billiy who seemed very suspicious about why she anted the book that will keep you on you feet the whole time you read it.

The one question I have about that boook is: Why did the author write the book? Did she have past experience with this sort of thing or did one day it just pop into her mind? My strongest recommendation for the book is that it is really suspenseful and will keep you awake! I didn't want to put it down when I was reading it.
