  "Bright lights, big buildings, and a city full of surprises—the Bobbsey twins are taking on the Metropolis!"
  
  The Bobbseys are trading the quiet streets of Lakeport for the roaring energy of the "Great City." In The Bobbsey Twins in a Great City, Nan, Bert, Flossie, and Freddie travel to New York, where every street corner holds a new wonder. From the dizzying heights of early skyscrapers to the crowded bustle of the department stores, the twins experience the cutting edge of 1917 urban life. But the city is as mysterious as it is large; when one of the twins goes missing in the crowd, it takes quick thinking and a bit of "Bobbsey luck" to reunite the family and solve an unexpected urban puzzle.
  
  A Tale of Two Worlds: This volume highlights the contrast between the twins' familiar small-town values and the fast-paced, sophisticated environment of the city. It captures the awe of childhood discovery as the twins navigate subways, grand hotels, and the vibrant culture of the early 20th-century metropolis.
  
  Urban Exploration and Mystery: The "Great City" serves as a giant playground for the twins' detective skills. Whether they are decoding the secrets of a busy harbor or finding their way through a maze-like park, Nan and Bert prove that their teamwork and bravery are effective even in the biggest city in the world.
