“I forgot to bring it.” And he gave his forehead a smack with the palm of his hand.
“Bring what, Benny?” asked Jessie. She was sure he had packed all of his warm winter clothes and his cracked pink cup.
“The mystery book I got for Christmas!” said Benny. “The one by Amelia Quigley Adams. And we were just getting to the best part, Jessie!”
“Oh, The Alphabet Mystery!” Jessie had been reading a chapter every night to her brother. “I meant to pack it, but I guess I forgot, too.”
“Don’t worry, Benny,...” said Henry. “When Mrs. McGregor tells us the riddle, we’ll have our own mystery to solve.”

Amelia Quigley Adams was my favorite children’s author when I was growing up. There’s a whole collection of her books at the Crooked House. In fact, I have a signed copy of The Alphabet Mystery.”MoreLess
