Id sure like to know whether Garys the one whos been following us, Jessie said. And Id like to find out whether hes the one who took the plans out of my backpack, Henry said. Remember, he and Jeff were originally going to build the yo-yo together. Ma
Jeffs eyes narrowed when he saw Gary. What are you doing here? He came here to make up with you, Jeff, Violet said right away. He wants his old job back, Benny put in. Jeff glanced curiously over at Gary. His expression softened. Is that true? Maybe,
The next day, Karls Lumber delivered another of load of boards. The Aldens helped Jeff and Gary with the yo-yo every day. They cut and measured each piece of wood, then pounded them all together. When they finished, they had two yo-yo halves. They co
The children pedaled so fast they were out of breath when they knocked on Grandma Belles door. They waited, then knocked again. Nurse Rumple finally opened the door wearing rubber gloves and holding a giant bottle of cleaning spray. Sssshh! she said,
After dinner, the children were playing Go Fish when Grandma Belles grandson called. So sorry we missed your visit, he said, but I took Grandma Belle to a doctors appointment. Her hip is doing very well. She was feeling so much better that we decided
It was dark by the time the Aldens headed back to their cabin. They were just climbing the porch steps when Benny stopped so suddenly that Violet almost bumped into him. I forgot Ogopogo! he cried. The one Abby gave me. Oh, you probably left it by th
Read it again Jessie, okay? said Benny. Jessie pulled the photograph of Patch OBriens cats from her backpack. She read the riddle on the back aloud. An awesome treasure, / you can find, / with the clue, / Ive left behind. The four Alden children were
Thats what I saw last night, Benny told them, his eyes wide with excitement. Its Ogopogo, isnt it? Violet and Jessie had woken up Benny and Henry. Now they were all peering out of the bedroom window at the strange creature swimming by the dock. Im no
Can you believe that? Jessie said as they headed down the street. Rilla acts like were doing something wrong. She doesnt want us hunting for the treasure, Henry added as they stepped inside the diner. Thats for sure. Violet nodded. Shes afraid Abby w
Back at the resort, the Alden children found their grandfather sitting on the cabin porch with Abby. How did you make out in town? Grandfather asked. We got everything well need for the signs, said Henry, handing Abby the change. Sandpaper, brushes,
Abby told me about a family park nearby, Grandfather said over breakfast the next morning. They have bumper boats and go-karts and miniature golfing. Anybody interested in checking it out? Thatd be great! cried Benny, his eyes shining. Henry agreed.
The Children could hear voices in the living room. Somethings come up, Henry said as they went in. What is it, Henry? asked Grandfather. He was sitting on the couch, with Rilla Washburn perched in a chair nearby. Is anything wrong? Henry shook his he
Grandfather drove the children back to Jeffs shop early the next morning. He couldnt pull into the parking lot because Emily was standing there with a man dressed in black jeans and a black jacket. So Grandfather pulled up along the side of the road

As they pulled up in front of the Trap-Door Theater, Aunt Jane glanced at her watch. Ill get my errands done, then meet you back here, Perfect! said Henry as they climbed out of the car. Aunt Jane gave them a little wave, then drove away. Violet slow
