Summary: Sweet story with 3 friends and a lonely interesting neighbor senior citizen. The kids want a place to have a tree house and a lot near the lady's home is cluttered. They clean it up, but then see a for sale sign. Now they have to meet the woman in that creepy house next door to talk to her about their plans and try to get her to change her mind about selling the lot. This is an early chapter book reader that will allow adults to enjoy the nostalgia of a character we know from our school days while students get a cute story with cute illustrations.Straight Talk for Librarians: If you teach students about community workers, helping others, and sticking to a plan and seeing it through, you will find it in this story. I think most of the teachers I know who have used the books in this series use them for the idioms explained in the text and in the back matter. If you need more easier chapter books, consider this one. There are many short chapters in each of this series by Herman Parish, nephew of Peggy Parish.
