My least favorite Melendy book, but probably because I read The Four-Story Mistake and Then There Were Five at least a year before I read this one, and after you've read the adventures in that fantastic house, their prior lives in the city just don't measure up. (  ) beanyncecil | Aug 12, 2009 |  Awwww. I have a new favourite family! The Melendy kids (Mona, 13, Rush, 12, Randy, 10, and Oliver, 6) decide to pool their allowance so that each week one of them can use the money to do something really special. And as each outing is described in splendid detail, excitement doesn't always come from the direction the kids expect. I would have loved to belong to this family. And other than the amount of allowance, I didn't find that they were dated at all, they were very entertaining kids. I'd give this to someone looking for a family story, a funny story, or for a good episodic read aloud. (  ) francescadefreitas | Jun 2, 2009 | Another favorite from childhood, which Mom passed to me (I passed it back when I found my own copy). (  ) libby.gorman | Mar 22, 2008 | 05 Dec 2007 - charity shop (I think) A sweet children's book, set in a New York where a 10 year old can wander off on their own, but a 6 year old will get a ride home on a police horse. Lovely light reading with charming illustrations. LyzzyBee | Mar 21, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
