==Plot summary==


== Plot summary ==
Nancy is going on a trip with her friends, [[George Fayne]] and [[Bess Marvin]], to Mirror Bay. There are multiple mysteries going on in this place. The first mystery is when people see a woman gliding across the bay at night. The second is a green man that frightens people of the mountain nearby. The third is a missing child's carriage that was lost in the bay. Yet the green man and the carriage mysteries seem tied together. Could it be that the two are not unrelated? And if that isn't enough, a rip-off swindle has a girl on a brochure that looks like her and gets in trouble with a lot of police, just like ''[[The Mystery at Lilac Inn]]''.

Aunt Eloise invites Nancy and her friends to a cabin at Mirror Bay, in [[Cooperstown, New York]], to solve a case of a mysterious woman seen gliding across the water. Nancy is then involved in a vacation hoax because she resembles a woman involved in the hoax. A strange green sorcerer who appears in the woods and a lost treasure involving the gliding woman lead Nancy and her friends to uncover a concealed operation in the woods.
