“Enright has a quick eye for the unexpected, the amusing and the beautiful in what might be just ordinary experiences. . . . [A] highly diverting tale.” —The New York Times Meet the Melendys! The four Melendy children live with their father and Cuffy, their beloved housekeeper, in a worn but comfortable brownstone in New York City. There’s thirteen-year-old Mona, who has decided to become an actress; twelve-year-old mischievous Rush; ten-and-a-half-year-old Randy, who loves to dance and paint; and thoughtful Oliver, who is just six. Tired of wasting Saturdays doing nothing but wishing for larger allowances, the four Melendys jump at Randy’s idea to start the Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.). If they pool their resources and take turns spending the whole amount, they can each have at least one memorable Saturday afternoon of their own. Before long, I.S.A.A.C. is in operation and every Saturday is definitely one to remember. First published in 1941, The Saturdays unfolds with all the ripe details of a specific place and period but remains, just the same, a winning, timeless tale. The Saturdays is the first installment of Newbery Award–winning author Elizabeth Enright’s Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures. “The Melendys are the quintessential storybook family . . . [their] ardent approach to living is eternally relevant.” —Publishers Weekly “A delightful family story . . . entertaining for any age.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

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 . . .

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.
