MARVELOUS MIDDLE GRADE MONDAY
THE TREASURES OF WEATHERBY
By Zilpha Keatley Snyder
“The Treasures of
Weatherby,” by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, is an adventure and a mystery. For
starters, is there hidden treasure at the big old Weatherby House mansion? If
there is treasure, will someone find it—and steal it—it before the direct
descendant, Harleigh Weatherby the Fourth can? And who is the strange girl who
can “fly” over the garden wall surrounding Weatherby House? Can she help
Harleigh or will she get him in trouble?
Harleigh Four is small for his age. He’s undergone several
operations to try to spark a growth spurt. His elementary classmates teased him
about his small size, so he’s home-schooled by ‘Uncle Edgar.’ Harleigh
understands his importance to the future of Weatherby House. He loves the old
crumbling down mansion, especially the huge library and his round room in the
tower.
Neglected Weatherby
Mansion is ruled over by
Aunt Adelaide. If she doesn’t like what Harleigh Four does, he could be shipped
off to a strict academy for boys. Just when Harleigh has found a mysterious
friend, things seem to be aligning against him. Together, with his new friend,
Allegra, maybe Harleigh can solve the mysteries of Weatherby House and help
ensure its future.
Highly recommended for middle grade readers, ages 8 to 12.
On the cover, it says: "Loathed by Lemony Snicket." (L. Snicket and Z.K. Snyder were good friends.)
