Summary:
Annie and Wallace stay at Blue Shutters, a cottage off the coast of New Hampshire, with their mother and baby sister. Their father goes back to the city to work. The cottage is in a deserted area, which Annie finds unsettling.
The children hear about stolen lobsters, and Wallace decides that they will solve the mystery. With their new friend, Dave, the children try to find out who is taking the lobsters.
On page 29, Wallace and Annie prepare breakfast for their mother's birthday.
On the counter was a used box of blueberry muffin mix and something was baking in the oven. On the stove was some very crinkled black-brown bacon, which Wallace was trying to get onto a paper towel to drain, while with the other hand he was trying to stir some scrambled eggs.
I helped him with the eggs, and we were going to cook some more bacon, but Mother said she liked black-brown bacon. I'm not so sure about this, but it was a relief to us. Then the timer rang and Wallace got the muffins out of the oven.
Mother is quite tactful!
This is a short book, just 56 pages.
I purchased this book at the same time as The Riddle of Raven Gulch. Both books were found together in a local store a couple years ago. Unfortunately, this book isn't nearly as good as the other book.
I found the story just okay, and I never really cared.
