The Search for the Missing Twin
Synopsis
Vicki worries about Mary Verga and her family, who live on Fortune Island which has been devastated by a recent storm. Vicki volunteers to fly a relief plane loaded with food and clothes to the island. Vicki and Mary are shocked when Mrs. Verga faints at the sight of a little woolen dress which was brought in with the relief supplies. The girls learn that Mary had an identical twin sister named Jennifer who was lost at sea fifteen years ago. Her sister had been believed dead, but with the discovery of her dress, Mrs. Verga now hopes that Mary's sister is alive and can be found.
Vicki wishes to help but must return to work. Months later, she convinces her family to vacation on the island in hope that they might help the Vergas. The Vergas tell the Barrs the story of how they lost Jennifer and how they believed that she had drowned. Now that they have found her dress, they believe that Jennifer must be alive somewhere and ask Vicki to help find her.
Vicki begins a long and difficult journey in her attempt to locate Jennifer. Vicki quickly obtains proof that Jennifer did not die at sea but her every clue leading to Jennifer's whereabouts results in nothing. In an exciting climax, Vicki travels to Texas where she learns what really happened to Jennifer.
