Imagine how shocked you would be if, like ten-year-old Colin Mason, you were the oldest (smartest, best) kid in a family of four, and then you found out that all these years, without knowing it, youve had an older sister, an awful, awful, bad, bad, girlLoretta Mason Potts. Who? What? Wait! ... But this is only the first of many surprises that lie in store for Colin, as things get curiouser and curiouser very fast. Loretta (a glum gangly girl and so very very rude!) comes home and before you know it, Colin is secretly following her down a hidden tunnel that leads from a bedroom closet to an astonishing castle, where a charming and beautiful countess keeps court attended by a dapper and ever-obliging general, and in this world everybody loves Loretta (especially when shes rude), so much so that theyre begging her to stay with them forever. What is the secret behind this mysterious other world and how does it connect to the many secrets in the Mason family? Itll take a spellbinding, hair-raising adventure, involving not just Colin and Loretta but their mother and the rest of the family, to work that out.

I just learned about Denver writer Mary Chase who was publishing in the 40s & 50s. She is best known for the play Harvey (which was made into the film with Jimmy Stewart.) But she also wrote two children's book. This is one of them, which I
I got online. It's a former library book and in pretty rough shape, but isn't the cover beautiful?
Anyone read it? (My $$ is on you @rubyslippersreads 🙂)
