About This Book
A circle of siblings and friends moves through a sequence of domestic adventures and moral lessons that begin with a broken promise on the ice and develop into misunderstandings, mischief, and danger. Episodes range from festive preparations and childish games to broken windows, a suspicious stranger, and a house burglary, followed by illness, a runaway, and a consequential journey that brings new acquaintances and revelations. Medical opinions, practical investigation, and personal courage uncover hidden truths, reconcile strained relationships, and lead the young people toward a reconciled household and a fresh beginning.
