About book Mountain Top Mystery (1990)

Another non-mystery, there just wasn't any investigating. Seriously, all the kids do is say, "Gee Grandfather wouldn't it be great if we could use our vast fortune to help everyone we meet so that they won't have to worry about anything?" And then Grandpa Alden says, "Why that's a great idea! Who do I write the check to?" "Yea, it's great to be rich, let's eat!" says Benny. And that's really the extant of the plot line. There may have been a little more to it than that but not much.The previous book talk about money and they do help people but they never seemed to rely on it as much as they do in this book. In the previous books the kids always felt more self sufficient. Now they feel pampered. I think maybe Miss Warner was starting to run low on ideas at this point.

Do You like book Mountain Top Mystery (1990)?

I remember liking this one because it had fossils and hidden treasure and mountain climbing. As an adult though, it's a little weak, and I'm not quite sure where to place it in the timing, if it's a new summer, or the last days of summer after they get back from the light house, or nowhere. And then, just a little thing, the scaffolding is supposed to take three days to build, as everyone keeps saying, but somehow, in the midst of the snow and rain and finding David, wow, the construction is done in a day instead! Book magic!
