The Yellow House Mystery (2010)
““I want to go home,” said Benny suddenly.
“We all want to go home,” said Henry. “But how can we? We can’t take Bill in a canoe. Four people are too many.”
“We’ll have to get to Mr. Long’s store some way,” said Jessie. “If only we had our station wagon.”
“Let’s wait a little while,” said Joe. “Maybe something will happen.” He winked at Alice.
Benny rushed over to Joe and shook his shoulder. “What are you winking at Alice for?” he cried.
“Don’t you wish you knew?” teased Joe. He rolled Benny over... in the grass.
“Get up and look what’s coming, boys,” called Alice. She pointed up the road. Coming around the corner was their very own station wagon.
“It’s the station wagon!” shouted Benny. “That’s Mr. Long driving and his boy is with him.” Benny began to jump up and down. He waved with both hands.
