“Hey; you guys!” Addie exclaimed. “Wouldn’t it be fun if we could have a detective club like the Daring Detectives?” A meeting; an election; and in no time Addie; her brother Con; and the three Perkins boys form the top-secret Fiery Dragon Gang. The five friends are sworn to secrecy . . . no one must know. Especially freckle-faces Jerry Norton—the enemy. What starts as harmless fun—building a coconut-husk clubhouse; trying to launch a biscuit-tin rocket; and exploring Japanese war tunnels—turns nasty when the gang starts spying on Jerry and leaving him out. Then one day; some new kids come on the scene. It’s then that Addie learns a lesson about the golden rule. One she’ll never forget.
