JERRY TODD SAYS:
The mystery part of this adventure really started the day we got Mrs. Kepple’s letter saying she was shipping us her famous rose-colored cat, Lady Victoria. Professor Stoner declared on the spot there was no such thing as a rose-colored cat—only he called it a feline. But right there in front of our eyes was the letter. And just as plain as day it read: “rose-colored cat.”
So we were all excited and went to the depot in a body the morning the cat arrived. When we squinted into the box we got the surprise of our lives. And I imagine you’ll get something of a surprise when you read about it.
For the most part the people in Tutter regarded our cat troubles as a joke. We didn’t mind that. And you can snicker all you want to as you read down through these pages. If you like the story well enough to wish another like it, suppose you try my first book, JERRY TODD AND THE WHISPERING MUMMY. In case you already have enjoyed the “mummy” story, there is still my third book, JERRY TODD AND THE OAK ISLAND TREASURE, and also JERRY TODD AND THE WALTZING HEN, book number four. These are all stories about Scoop and me and Red and Peg. Full of mystery and packed with clean fun.
My fifth book, JERRY TODD AND THE PUZZLE ROOM MYSTERY, is about a haunted house. I guess this old house is the only one in the world having a puzzle room. Therein lay the mystery. There is a ghost, and heaps of fun. I imagine you’ll enjoy this book more than some of the others if you particularly like spooky stories.
Your friend,
Jerry Todd.
