![]() They are all good and I cannot think of anything objectionable in them – but if you aren’t going to read all of them I think the first 2 are the best (The Saturdays and The Four Story Mistake). The Saturdays Puffin Books, 1997 - New York (N.Y.) - 175 pages 14 Reviews Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when its identified Four New York City siblings. Spiderweb for 2 is the last one and only features the youngest 2 siblings as they olders have all gone away to school – but send them through an elaborate treasure hunt with riddle clues to help them not to miss them so much during the winter. The third one is Then there were Five – they befriend an orphaned boy and adopt him into their family. ![]() ![]() The second is the Four Story Mistake – they move out to a funny old house in the country and have various adventures there. In the first one – The Saturdays – they are living in New York City and choose to pool their allowances and each chapter is the story of whatever “adventure” they choose to do when it is their “Saturday”. The stories center around the Melendy Family – 2 brothers and 2 sisters – and the adventures they have together – set in the 1940’s (it is during the WW2 era, but they are not really stories about the war at all, other than occasional mentions of things like rationing and raising money for war bonds). Publication date 1955 Topics Families - Juvenile fiction, Children's allowances - Juvenile fiction, Children's. ![]() ![]() I think I read them originally when I was around 9 or so. The Saturdays by Enright, Elizabeth, 1909-1968. I LOVED these books growing up, and recently re-read and still enjoyed them. ![]()
