Los Hollister en Nueva York

Více o knize

At a school-benefit sale, Pete Hollister discovers an old book about early New York tunnels, which contains a mysterious note written in Chinese with the word “Help!” The Hollisters consult a Chinese friend for translation and learn the letter was penned by Yuen Foo to his son in New York but never sent. Using a detective kit, Pete uncovers hidden Chinese writing revealing that Yuen Foo was threatened over a “treasure.” Mr. Hollister, invited to New York as a consultant for a toy manufacturer, decides to take the family along for a vacation. The children are excited not only for the sights of New York but also because the clues suggest Chinatown holds the key to the mystery. This story offers a tour of one of the world's most famous cities while introducing readers to a glimpse of Chinese culture at Manhattan's tip. First published in 1959, this delightful mystery-adventure is now available in paperback and eBook for the first time. Aimed at children aged six to twelve, the series emphasizes humor, integrity, and the triumph of good over evil. Parents and educators appreciate the wholesome narratives, while kids enjoy the fast-paced action and engaging illustrations that bring the adventures of the Hollister family to life.
