Billie Bradley at Sun Dial Lodge is book seven of the Billie Bradley series. It takes up where book six, Billie Bradley at Treasure Cover, leaves off. The treasure found is a big subplot of this book.
The treasure is stolen from the train that Billie, her brother, her friends, and her relative, Ben Halcomb, the old sailor who asked for her help in finding the treasure. It was stolen when the train stopped because of a broken bridge. They should have guarded that treasure themselves, but the guys were watching the reconstruction of the bridge and the girls were looking for a doctor for Ben in the 'squalid settlement' near the broken bridge.
At least the search for a doctor allowed the girls to meet the old woman who will become another subplot: Sara Westlock.
NOTES:
Chapter 1:
a. Billie Bradley and her friends met Ben Halcombe under dangerous circumstances in chapter 3 of book six.
b. Ben told Billie that Pauline Halcombe thought he was crazy in chapter 9 of book six.
Chapter 2:
a. Ben Halcombe severely wrenched his ankle in chapter 19 of book six. This was after the same ankle was severely sprained when he and Billie met.
b. The house at Cherry Corners adventure was in book one, Billie Bradley and her Inheritance.
c. The girls were still attending boarding school in book six. They went to Treasure Cove during the summer break. It's still summer. They first attended the school in book two, Billie Bradley at Three Towers Hall. The lighthouse adventure was in book three, Billie Bradley on Lighthouse Island. Book four, Billie Bradley and Her Classmates, is where the girls helped the widow and her children. Billie Bradley at Twin Lakes was book five. ( )
