""Do with it?"" repeated the girl, looking at her questioner in surprise; then she added, with a fine attempt at sarcasm: ""Why, I'm going to have Jim break it up for kindling wood. It will make such a show more lovely blaze on the library hearth. I have always loved blazing autos."" show less

A terrific little bit of zeitgeist. Not exactly Nancy Drew but reminiscent of that type of juvenile fiction.
I found this series at a local bookstore; the owner had bought them at an estate sale. These books are absolutely delightful. They are old-fashioned without being lame, corny, or preachy. I found myself wanting to live down the road from the characters and join them in their drives, picnics, and parties. If you come across these books, snatch them up!
Dnf. I was only reading this because the Librivox narrator puts me to sleep. But the plot was so ridiculous and annoying I couldn’t go on.
