Into the Four-Story Mistake, an odd-looking house with a confused
architectural history, move the Melendy family -- Mona, Rush, Randy,
Oliver, Father, and Cuffy, the housekeeper. Though disappointed about
leaving their old brownstone in New York City, and apprehensive about
living the country life, the four Melendy kids soon settle into this
unusual new home. Here, they become absorbed in the adventures of the
country, adjusting themselves with all their accustomed resourcefulness
and discovering the many hidden attractions that the Four-Story Mistake
has to offer.
The Four-Story Mistake is the second installment of Enright's Melendy
Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family
and their surprising adventures.
