Then There Were Five (Melendy Quartet)

Description

With Father in Washington and Cuffy, their housekeeper, away visiting a sick cousin, almost anything might happen to the Melendy kids left behind at the Four-Story Mistake. In the Melendy family, adventures are inevitable: Mr. Titus and the catfish; the villainy of the DeLacey brothers; Rush s composition of Opus 3; Mona s first rhubarb pie and all the canning; Randy s arrowhead; the auction and fair for the Red Cross. But best of all is the friendship with Mark Herron, which begins with a scrap-collection mission and comes to a grand climax on Oliver s birthday.

Here is Elizabeth Enright s classic story of a long and glorious summer in the country with the resourceful, endearing Melendy bunch.

Then There Were Five is the third installment of Enright s Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures.
