Overview
When Ginnie hears that her parents are planning a tour of Europe, she begs to go along. And taking along best friend, Geneva, makes the trip sound all the more exciting. Not long after they arrive, Ginnie notices suspicious things happening wherever they go. Clutching the good luck cat figurine she had acquired, she dismisses her uneasiness. From Portugal to Spain then on to historic Greece, the trip provides one new experience after another. The girls visit museums such as the Prado in Madrid, enjoy horse-drawn buggy rides through Old World city quarters, and of course, sample delicious new foods. Nevertheless, the nagging idea lurks that the party is being followed. When a confrontation occurs, Ginnie is most surprised to find herself a heroine!
Author Bio
Catherine Woolley worked as an editor and public relations writer in New York following her college years, then returning to her parents' home in Passaic in the 1930s. A prolific writer of over eighty books, Ms. Woolley published so many children's books that her publisher recommended using a pen name for some of her works. She chose the name Jane Thayer - her grandmother's name - which she used for the many picture books she wrote. In the early 1960s, Ms. Woolley moved to Truro, Massachusetts. Ms. Woolley was an easily recognized figure at writing and book events in Truro. She helped start a book club, worked with the Friends of the Truro Library, taught at writing workshops, and held story hours at the library. As a tribute to this author, the children's room in the Truro library is named after Catherine Woolley.
