The Mystery on Governors Island

      

A water dowser with a Stetson hat, hired by Jason’s Dad to find water on the Holmes’ property, inspires Jason to invent an electronic divining rod.  When Mary Nestor, Jason’s girlfriend from summer Camp Wenonah , moves into town, she throws Jason off his stride and his school grades suffer. Luckily, school is interrupted by Spring Break, and Jason and the Detectives, as well as Mary and her friends from Camp, take a tour of Governors Island , NY .  During this tour a strange incident occurs which brings the young people together in a race against time.  The Detectives learn a lesson in Government as they try to unravel the intrigue that could derail plans to create a public park on this national historic site. Using Jason’s divining rod, the Detectives find the key to unlock the mystery and save the Island from commercial development. >>>
