Randy and Oliver Melendy awake one fall morning full of gloom. Their
brother and sister are away, the house seems forlorn and empty, and even
Cuffy, their adored housekeeper, can't pick up their spirits. Will they
have to face a long and lonely winter? But a surprise message in the
mailbox starts a trail of excitement and adventure that takes them
through the cold season. When summer finally comes around again, the
children have found fourteen messages in all, and the end of the search
brings them a rich reward.
Full of unforgettable moments (like finding a secret note tucked under
the dog's collar) and delightful twists of language (the more
challenging clues, the better), this fourth book in Elizabeth Enright's
Melendy Quartet makes for a grand finale to an equally grand collection
of stories. Spiderweb for Two is the fourth and final installment of
Enright's Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the
close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures
