Youre going to see some beautiful coral out at the reef, Melanie said, as they boarded a glass-bottom boat later that morning. They had driven into Key West after breakfast and were taking their seats on the upper deck of a large white boat called th
Jessie, Benny, and Watch were waiting at the Greenfield Post Office when it opened the next morning. It was a bright, sunny day. The post office was surrounded by shady trees and had windows across the front. Jessie, Benny, and Watch were about to go
What do we do now? asked Benny. Henry looked at the closed door of Mr. Woodss house and then at Benny. He shook his head. Wed better take this cat back to Professor Madison. But first, lets look at the photograph. The children looked closely at the p
Soo Lee was waiting by her bicycle at Dr. Scotts office when the Aldens got there the next morning. They had brought Watch with them to keep his mind off the strange cat who was living in his house. Watch had followed happily on his leash, but when h
Jessie and Benny stared at the ruined set in horror. Who would do that? asked Benny. Can it be fixed? It took Jessie a few moments to answer. Lets go find Jim, she finally said. I hope that was his voice we heard. Maybe hes still outside. Jessie and
When the fog blew in, Aunt Jane and Jessie decided to paddle ashore. They thought Henrys canoe was right behind them, but it wasnt. Jessie and Benny called very loudly to let Henry and Violet know where they were. But their voices were carried away b
On stage, Benny was having trouble controlling Watch. The dog kept running to Jessie who stood in the wings waiting for her cue to come on. Watch wouldnt pay any attention to Sarah. Jim was shaking his head. This may not work, he told Benny. Take him
Look, Violet! Thats the North Star, Henry pointed up at the sky. The Aldens had just finished dinner and Grandfather Alden had gotten out his book of constellations. The four children were trying to find the constellations and stars he had shown them
I still think Melody had something to do with that note, Benny said the next day. Benny and Soo Lee were backstage, with many others, sanding boards for the scenery. Soo Lee took some more sandpaper. I dont know, Benny, she said. Violet came out of t
Benny, what are you going to use that star for? Violet asked a few days later. Benny was at the kitchen table. He had glue, scissors, cardboard, and a small pile of shiny gold paper spread in front of him. Im making Watch a gold star for his doghouse
The Aldens dropped Bobby off at his room. He couldnt wait to tell his parents all about his trip to the Empire State Building and the adventure in the elevator, too. After waving good-bye to his new friend, Benny turned to his brother and sisters. So
Back at the hotel, Jessie suggested that they go for a swim. You want to see Mike, dont you? Henry teased. No, Jessie insisted. I just thought it might be fun. I wonder if the pool has been cleaned yet, Violet said. Theres only one way to find out, s
The next day, the Aldens decided to avoid the coffee shop. Instead, they ordered breakfast from room service. Jessie called downstairs and placed their order. Soon a waiter wheeled in a table with their food. After enjoying juice, milk, and a basketf
Where are we going to eat? Benny asked. Good question, Henry replied. I know, Violet said. Lets buy some food and fix lunch in our kitchenette. That would be fun, Jessie agreed. Benny was doubtful. Where are we going to buy food? I havent seen a groc
Arent we going to eat breakfast? Benny asked. Im hungry! Well, thats no surprise, Henry said with a laugh. Lets go on in, Grandfather said, leading the way into the coffee shop. The hostess brought the Aldens to a large round table in the center of t
Benny packed his flashlight in his suitcase the next morning. I guess I dont need it anymore on this trip, he said. We had two adventures: the big storm and finding that old postbox. Dont forget about seeing all those whales, Henry said. Benny tossed
The next morning, in the dining room, Mrs. Pease bustled around the Aldens table like a mother hen. Now today I want you children to eat well and not run off with just a few muffins. Especially you, Benny. I wont, said Benny who was on his second hel
It was lunchtime when the Jonah docked. But the Aldens forgot all about being hungry. They couldnt wait to show Miss Coffin their discoveries. I just know shell be happy to see us when we show her these things, Violet said. Not like yesterday. Henry
By six oclock in the morning, rays of sunlight squeezed through the shutters. It was warm in the sitting room. The heat was on again. Henry was sound asleep right next to the Peases dog, Blackie. Shh, Benny, Mrs. Pease said when she came in to check
Golden sunlight poured into the Crows Nest as the Aldens awakened. Jessie tiptoed to the big windows to feel the sun. She opened the doors that led to the widows walk. Mmm, fresh sea air. Do you see any land yet? Henry joked. I dreamed we were on a l
