Six Little Bunkers at Farmer Joel's
1923
The six Bunker children arrive at Farmer Joel's farm with summer stretching endlessly before them, and already trouble is afoot: Violet's precious doll Esmeralda has gone missing, launching the siblings into a frantic search that reveals the hidden wonders of country life. Russ, Rose, Violet, Laddie, Margy, and little Mun Bun each bring their own spark of curiosity and mischief to the adventure, whether they're exploring the barn, befriending farm animals, or stumbling upon secrets in the fields. The rural landscape becomes a kingdom waiting to be claimed, full of creek beds to cross, haystacks to climb, and neighbors to meet. First published in 1923, this Bunker family adventure captures something timeless: the magic of summer freedom, the fierce loyalty of siblings, and the way a simple farm becomes a world of endless possibility when viewed through children's eyes. Young readers who crave wholesome adventure with plenty of heart will find six friends worth following into any field or barn.
