Alice B. Emerson Betty Gordon at Ocean Park, Or School Chums on the Boardwalk, Cupples & Leon Company, Publishers: New York, 1923. 206 pp.
School children in Ocean Park, California, probably read books like this. The fictional setting in Emerson's book is the East Coast, but there is still a very astute Betty Gordon, solving crimes in the Country and the City, on the Boadwalk, the Beach and the Sea, on bicycle, canoe, train and sea plane, at a time when the circus might make money and could well have engaged the attentions of young women who were interested in seeing how solving mysteries developed Betty Gordon's character, much like it had Ruth Fielding's.
