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.
