The Swindler's Treasure — Lois Walfrid Johnson

Time is running out to catch a thief!

In Galena, Illinois, Libby Norstad and her friend Caleb say good-bye to the fugitive slave Jordan. They hope to see him again soon, but a swindler has replaced the money in the Christina's safe with worthless bills. Can Libby's father, Captain Norstad, make up for the theft? Or will he lose the steamboat all of them love?

Then scary things happen when Jordan is trusted with a large amount of money. How can Libby and Caleb help their friend clear his name? And what can Jordan do about finding his father?
