They had Ms. Dawson over and talked about Amanda Penner’s accident. Ms. Dawson said that Amanda had tripped over a rock in the garden and sprained her ankle and wanted to get rid of the rocks. The Alden children said they could do that. Grandfather told Ms. Dawson that they would come over the next morning. They went over there and Amanda greeted them. She showed them around then they set off to work. A few minutes into it Benny saw something in one of the stones. It was a letter. They put the stones together and it said, “The rings of time go round and rounds a hollow hides what must be found.” “I wonder what it means,” Benny said. They decided to go home. they went to tell Amanda that they were going home and what they found. She said it was the start of the spy game and she told them how to play. The next morning They went back there and knocked on the door. Amanda opened it and said, “Hello kids! I was just about to go to the store with Steve. But you can stay here with Ms. Dawson and try to figure out the riddle.” After that, they went to the creek with a fallen tree and dipped their toes in the water. Jessie asked Henry if he knew how old the tree was. He said, “If you count the rings on the tree you can see how old it is.” “The rings?” Jessie said, “One mystery solved.” “What do you mean.” asked Benny. “The rings of time,” she said. “Now we need to figure out what a hollow hides what must be found means.” That night they gathered in Henry and Benny’s room and talked about the spy game. Then Benny yawned and Jessie said that he looked like the yawning tree. Suddenly it hit Violet. “We need to go to the yawning tree tomorrow morning,” she said. The next morning they were at the yawning tree and Henry was on his tippy toes trying to look in it. Jessie and Violet clasped their hands together and gave him a boost. He said he found something and came down to show them a box. He opened it and piece of paper was inside. It said “A gown of white young Dora wore on her birthday number four.” They figured it out and went to the Penner house in the morning. At the end they figured out that Amanda is Mila Jones and Steve is Jake Winston. They are the Alden children’s favorite authors.

They had friends and they had a favorite series. And they were discussing the end of the mystery; trying to figure it out. And then they figured out that the famous authors were sitting right in front of them BECAUSE even though the names were different, they were sitting in front of their friends who were the authors! One of the famous authors asked the other in front of everyone "Can you marry me!" I started laughing because it was so funny. They had friends and they had a favorite series.

Read aloud with my 7 year old. He loves the entire series -- I find them a little prescriptive. This one was slightly better than some of the others we've read but involved romance, which gets big "belch" rating from the kid. Read aloud with my 7 year old.
