Elizabeth Enright

With Father in Washington and Cuffy, their housekeeper, away visiting a sick cousin, almost anything might happen to the Melendy kids left behind at the Four-Story Mistake. In the Melendy family, adventures are inevitable: Mr. Titus and the catfish; the villainy of the DeLacey brothers; Rush's composition of Opus 3; Mona's first rhubarb pie and all the canning; Randy's arrowhead; the auction and fair for the Red Cross. But best of all is the friendship with Mark Herron, which begins with a scrap-collection mission and comes to a grand climax on Oliver's birthday.

Here is Elizabeth Enright's classic story of a long and glorious summer in the country with the resourceful, endearing Melendy bunch.

Then There Were Five is the third installment of Enright's Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures.

Then There Were Five

In the third novel of this charming children’s series, the Melendy family take the plunge into country life, moving from NYC into a most unusual home.

The Melendy family have just moved into an odd-looking house with a confused architectural history—what you might call a Four-Story Mistake. The four children, their father, and their housekeeper are all disappointed to leave their old brownstone in New York City.

They’re also apprehensive about living the country life. But the Melendy kids soon discover the many hidden attractions of the Four-Story Mistake. And with their accustomed resourcefulness, they find themselves getting absorbed in new kinds of adventures . . .
