I hope you made plenty of fried bread, Joe said to his mother a few hours later. The family had gathered in the kitchen for a quick breakfast before the Pow-Wow. We made five baskets to bring with us, Violet said, and we saved some just for you. She
The next evening, the Morgans invited the guests to a wienie roast at the old pond. We do this every year right after the fair, Sarah explained to Jessie. Everyone roasts their own hot dogs, and then we sit around the camp fire and sing. I guess you
Jessie was relieved to find Henry, Violet, and Benny sitting apart from the group, under the shade of an apple tree. They had finished eating, and Henry was whittling a chunk of white oak with his pocketknife. You missed lunch, Benny said the moment
Benny said suddenly, Now I know where we are! Theres the old lighthouse where we stayed that summer. Remember? That was fun, living in that lighthouse, said Violet. Henry said, It shows we are not many miles from Aunt Janes. They all looked toward th
When the Aldens had wheeled away from the post office, Henry said, Now you can run awhile, Shadow. It will do you good. You are getting lazy. The day was warm, and a little wind was blowing. It was a perfect day for riding. Shadow ran along beside Be
I cant believe its gone, Violet said softly to Mrs. Lightfeather a few minutes later. Who would take it? Someone must have stolen it, Joe said. Maybe they thought it was valuable. All the children had gathered in the kitchen once they heard what had
Each day brought several new customers to Piccolos Pizza. The Aldens were sure many more would follow once the restaurant started serving its big pizzas again. Finally the day came when the gas company was going to fix the broken gas line to the Picc
This is creepy, Violet said. And Im freezing. I told you to wear a sweater, Jessie muttered. The nights get chilly here. It was midnight and the two sisters were headed for the dig with Amy. Amy swung her flashlight in a zigzag motion to light the wa
Is everybody ready for another day at the dig? Amy asked at breakfast the next morning. Were all set, Henry said, finishing a big plate of bacon and eggs. Benny helped me pack sandwiches and a thermos of cider, Joe added, pointing to a picnic basket.
The next day, the last day of the Greenfield Dog Show, was bright and clear. Since Watch couldnt go to the dog show, and since he had to go to the veterinarians that afternoon to get his shots (although of course, he didnt know it), the Aldens decide
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
Violet, look! Henry called to his sister the next morning. Its Aunt Janes canoe! Henry and Violet ran down to the lake. It was early, and the sky was a little pink. Henry, Violet, we found you! Benny called. He tumbled out of the canoe when it reache
Someone noticed a light on in the theater late last night, Jim announced to the cast and crew the next day. He paused to nervously pull up the collar of his faded blue shirt. Are you sure it wasnt the janitor? Richard asked. I was the last one in the
The hours flew by. Miss Chase spent her time making business calls. The Aldens carried books from the shop out to the tables in the courtyard where the book sale would be held. And Sarah Deckle spent the morning buried in the childrens book section w
Whew! Henry said several hours later when the children finally finished moving the construction materials to the hall. Dr. Skyler wasnt kidding. That sure was a lot to clear out of there. Jessie pushed back her braid for the umpteenth time. Not to me
During the long tense wait, Sky, Matt, and the Aldens sat near the shed and talked about ballooning. Suddenly, Violet spotted something across the field. It moved steadily toward them, a cloud of dust swirling in its wake. Is that a truck? she asked.
Not one of the Aldens moved. They watched the man on the bus station steps. What was he going to do? Henry motioned to Jessie and Violet. He wanted them to stay where they were. He whispered to Benny, Come with me. Benny nodded and tiptoed behind Hen
Benny and Henry sat together on the bus. They rode along without saying anything for a few minutes. Then Benny said, Id like to know what Frank was talking about. Its just as if we stepped into the middle of a mystery. Henry smiled. Were always doing
Violet woke up just before dawn. She dressed silently, thinking of what would taste the best for breakfast. She decided on French toast with honey. She took down the egg basket, wishing the sun would come up faster. The minute she stepped outside, th
When Grandfather drove to the zoo, the children piled out, intending to find Edward. Grandfather trailed after them. Did Amos come back? Benny shouted at Edward, who stood before the Monkey House. Sadly, Edward shook his head. Im afraid not. Pat and
