From the coming-of-age story beginning with a summer getaway, climaxing on a full moonlit Halloween night. They're young adults now, and their club chief executive, Mary Crane, chooses to follow her teacher's suggestion of getting a pen pal for the summertime. She writes to a boy her mother had read about in the paper - a Pennsylvania lad. He writes back. As the summertime unfolds, one of the young adults is witness to a offense in progress. Innocently, not only will the young pen pal of the club's chief executive unwittingly help them solve the enigma of just who the crooks are, nevertheless they also solve what turns out to be an unresolved military mystery dating back again to the war but still lingering in the shadows of the D-day invasion. Is it coincidence that Mary's pen pal just is undoubtedly a grandson of the chief executive of the United States? It's greater than a Halloween storyline; it's a brief history book. It might be to today's chronicles of days gone by what Escapades of Huckleberry Finn is at 1884. Using a backdrop of rural life and times as these were in 1953, this book reawakens our faded memory space and colorfully illustrates two vanishing landmarks, both epics of the American culture and world history. The family farm, for just one, and, sad as it might be, the fleeting recollections of the pivotal D-day invasion under Supreme Commander General Dwight David Eisenhower. Without either we could have lost the warfare. This book brings them both back again to life in absorbing fine detail - from the fable with a good footing of the times for the tale's lasting cultural relevance. It all happened amid five country cities, a few villages and hamlets where more than 65 family farms were busy raising children, apples, corn, and whole wheat and - all informed - milking about 3,200 cows.
