Happy Six

Happy Six

Penn Shirley

The Merry Five have become the Happy Six, and this time the adventure goes international. When the combined households of the Rowes and Bradstreets plan a grand trip to France, excitement reaches a fever pitch. But before the ship even leaves harbor, trouble brews: Kirke's beloved dog Shot vanishes, and a construction accident at a new well nearly derails everything. Once they finally board for Europe, the misadventures only multiply, from wrong turns down Parisian streets to language mishaps and run-ins with less-than-reputable characters. Through it all, six friends discover that the greatest journey isn't across the ocean at all, but into the depths of loyalty, courage, and the unbreakable bonds of childhood friendship. This is childhood rendered at its most vivid: a world where a group of small people can transform an ordinary summer into something legendary.
