Mystery Behind the Wall (2010)
“Rory held his breath as Benny reached into the hole in the closet wall. Benny was so excited that he almost let the pliers fall into the hole.
“Paper!” he said. “Hear it rustle?”
“Don’t tear it, Benny,” said Rory. “It must be very old.”
“There’s a lot of it,” Benny said. By now he was able to touch the paper with his fingers. “It feels like a book without a cover.”
“Pull it out!” Rory said.
“Here, you try,” Benny replied. “It’s not as easy as you think.”
“I’ll try,” said Rory. “But it’s in your... house and it belongs to you, whatever it is.”
Rory took the pliers and got a good grip on the papers. Out came a notebook without any cover. It was bent and wrinkled. The paper looked yellowed and old.
The two boys moved into the light. Benny held the papers out for Grandfather and the others to see. He said, “Homemade! Poor Stephanie! She had to make her own book.”
“But what kind of book is it?” asked Violet.
Three rusty pins held together four pieces of school paper folded twice.MoreLess
