As they settle into a charming seaside cottage, they discover an iron box buried in the sand, hinting at mystery and adventure throughout their stay. At the start of the novel, the four friends stroll through their hometown of Deepdale with light-hearted banter before Betty reveals plans to spend the summer at Ocean View.
