This was my first encounter with the Bobbsey Twins and it does not encourage me to seek out another. I got very annoyed that the boy twins in the series had most of the action, and that Flossy, the younger girl twin was about intellectually about a two year old rather than a six year old. The trip to New York was more full of sightseeing and Freddy getting into trouble than actual mystery and things wrapped up too suddenly. ( )
