Spiderweb for Two (The Melendy Quartet, Book 4)

Then There Were Five (The Melendy Quartet, Book 3) by Elizabeth Enright

The last in this series... Randy and Oliver Melendy awake one fall morning full of gloom. Their brother and sister are away, the house seems forlorn and empty, and even Cuffy, their adored housekeeper, can't pick up their spirits. Will they have to face a long and lonely winter? But a surprise message in the mailbox starts a trail of excitement and adventure that takes them through the cold season. When summer finally comes around again, the children have found fourteen messages in all, and the end of the search brings them a rich reward. Full of unforgettable moments (like finding a secret note tucked under the dog's collar) and delightful twists of language (the more challenging clues, the better), this fourth book in Elizabeth Enright's Melendy Quartet makes for a grand finale to an equally grand collection of stories.

Spiderweb for Two is the fourth and final installment of Enright's Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures. Written more than half a century ago (1941),

The Melendy Quartet series unfolds with all the ripe details of a specific place and period but remains, just the same, a winning, timeless tale. This series has been translated into numerous languages throughout the world, and the stories have been known and loved by many for generations. Perfect for summer reading!
