In Judy Bolton #20,
The Warning on the Window, the construction in Roulsville is being sabotaged. One man has been killed, and a number of accidents have occurred. Peter is called to investigate, but he is attacked and nearly buried alive. While Peter recovers in the hospital, Judy and Roberta investigate.
I rather like that Peter's injury keeps him out of the plot so that Judy can solve the mystery by herself. Peter gets a bit tiresome when he knows what is going on and doesn't tell Judy. This time, Peter cannot interfere with Judy's investigation.
This is an excellent book.
In Judy Bolton #21,
The Clue of the Stone Lantern, Roberta is transfixed by a picture of a garden shown on a seed package. At first, Judy doesn't realize the significance, but later, she discovers that Roberta is actually remembering a place from her past. If Judy can find this garden, she may be able to locate Roberta's family.
I was a bit surprised when Peter refers to Judy's hair as her "titian locks" on page 56. That word is not used in any other Judy Bolton book, and I have rarely ever seen it used in any series other than Nancy Drew.
This is also an excellent book.
