I cant say Im happy about this, Grandfather said after hearing of his grandchildrens latest experience. They were all back on the porch, enjoying the coolness of the late afternoon. Oh, James, theyre fine, Tom pointed out, patting Benny on the back.
That evening the Aldens decided to make a homemade dinner in their cabin. They made a delicious stew, and served it with hot rolls and salad. After dinner, they played cards out on the porch. After a while, Violet put down her last card. Want to play
There were only two days of vacation left for the Aldens, and they were determined to spend them both at the beach. Benny and Henry were playing in the ocean, running around and splashing each other, while Jessie and Violet lay on their towel, readin
All the Aldens loved having the Nettleton twins as houseguests. But for Jessie, their visit was extra special. She was sharing her room with Tipper. Each night, after they turned out the lights, the two of them would talk in the dark until they drift
Over the next few days, Tipper and Buzz avoided the whole sore subject of the missing trophy. It was time to coach the Fast Breakers and the Blazers for the championships. The twins filled everyones days with practices, clinics, and drills. If they w
The Aldens wriggled out of the cave to have lunch in a warm, sunny spot. Lets put down our picnic blanket right here, Henry said. That way we can keep an eye on this cave. Jessie set out the sandwiches. What is it about these caves? she wanted to kno
After saying good-bye to Joe Caveman, the Aldens spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the new cave. Know what? Benny asked as he walked along with his brother and sisters. Joe Caveman never told us his real name. I like the name you gave him way
The Aldens spotted the Dragons Mouth Motor Court right away. A huge green dragon was outlined in lights from the top of its head to the tip of its tail. Instead of breathing fire and smoke, this dragon flashed the words: COZY CABINS HERE. How are we
When Jessie and Violet walked into the sports center the next day, Tom Hooper was up on his ladder painting the ceiling. Hi, Tom, Tipper called out. Looks as if youre almost done. How are you? Tom didnt answer, so Tipper and the Aldens kept walking d
Somebodys outside the window, said Henry. He jumped toward the window and pulled the curtain back. Jessie ran to join him and said, Look! They saw a shadowy figure scuttling across the lawn. Then Benny said, I can see the lights in the neighbors hous
The next day, the Aldens had another clear day for hiking and caving. On top of Little Nose Cliff, a soft, warm breeze was blowing, and the children stopped to enjoy the view. Benny pointed his binoculars down below. Hey, I see Miss Hollowell down at
After hearing of his grandchildrens latest adventure, James Alden decided they would eat dinner that night in the kitchen rather than on the front porch, where they might be seen. As they all quietly ate their meals, Tom read the latest article about
The next morning the children and their grandfather went to a little shopping village that they had spotted when they first got into town. Originally the children had planned to go alone, but now Grandfather insisted on going with them. Soon after th
Im not surprised Walker turned up, Tom said as he brought his fork to his mouth. He and Grandfather had made reservations at a nice restaurant called the Crabs Claw Inn, right on Oyster Bay. He has obviously been after John Finneys treasure for years
Behind the bench, said Jessie, without asking questions. She took Gretas leash as Tate dove behind a bench in front of the ice-cream parlor. The Aldens all sat down on the bench and faced the street. Without moving his lips, Henry said, Who are you h
Watch and Greta barked. Tate grabbed Gretas collar and Henry held on tightly to Watchs leash. Jessie ran into the woods, but it was too late. Whoever it was had gotten too big a head start for her to catch up. Returning breathlessly, she said, I coul
Why are we going into the grocery store, Jessie? Henry asked. Youll see, Jessie answered mysteriously. She led the way to the magazine section and stopped. She studied the rows of magazines, then reached out and picked up a magazine called True Star
