The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright
Meet the Melendys, a father, 4 children and their housekeeper Cuffy. They live in a comfortable brownstone in New York City. 13 year old Mona, who wants to become an actress; 12 year old Rush who is very mischievous; 10 year old Randy, who loves to dance; and thoughtful 6 year old Oliver.
Tired of wasting Saturdays doing nothing, the four children decide to start the Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.) They decide to put all their resources together and take turns spending the entire amount when its their turn.
Each Saturday brings a new adventure to the Melendy children living in New York City. They discover that combining their allowances and using it on their selected Saturday, makes each Melendy child's adventure possible. A great chapter book, taking place in the 1940's. This is the first book in the series of Enright's Melendy Quartet, about the close knit family and their surprising adventures.
This book can be found in the intermediate section of the library.
