The Money Room
Synopsis
Margaret K McElderry books' description: Thirteen-year-old Scott and his younger sister
Melinda expected new-school problems but not
the baffling, peculiar events of their first weeks on the Oregon farm their great-grandfather had left
their mother. They had always heard talk of his "Money Room" but never a hint of where or whatit was. Now, with no friends yet and their mother absorbed in her new job, they were determined to find whatever treasure the old house
held.
Spurred on by a passage from an old diary and
the startling contents of a tin box they found in
the attic, Scott and Lindy plunged into a deepening mystery, one that soon had them wondering uneasily who else was trying to find the Money
Room, and what would happen if he got there first.
This highly entertaining adventure by the author
of A Really 'Weird Summer, which won the Mystery Writers of America 1978 "Edgar" award for "the best juvenile mystery of the year," reflects a warm family feeling, a fine sense of place, and a sure narrative gift.
