Yes, there are several books there.
"A holiday — a mystery — an adventure — and a happy ending for dear old Barney!" said Roger. "What more could anyone want?"
"An ice cream," said Snubby promptly. "Who's coming to buy one?" The Rubadub Mystery

No boots, Aurélien! Au contraire, I have borrowed a copy of The Cherrys of River House from a learned friend, and will post my comments on it in due course!

Good on you, Moonraker.

Once one has learned to cope with the seismic culture shock of active engagement/involvement/participation of *gasp* some of the grown-ups or 'Bigs' in the 'Happenings', Scott's CHERRYS books are a jolly good read. Especially :) to readers who have a keen enjoyment of the sense of fun and the stir of adventure in the best of EB's books.....

(Those wanting a little more information on this series are referred to the appropriate thread, here.)

:) :) :) The thing is, Moonraker, just to relax and enjoy a fun read....after all it's almost Christmas. And :cry: if a UK Christmas is anything like as overworked, unpleasant, grim, and even distressing a time as it is for our NZ paramedics you will need something wholesome to switch your mind on to.
