Howard Roger Garis
1918
A children's novel written during the early 20th century. This delightful adventure follows the Curlytops—siblings Janet and Teddy Martin, along with their mischievous little brother Trouble—as they embark on a journey to Uncle Frank’s ranch in Montana. The story captures the excitement of childhood imagination and the thrill of exploration, particularly as it introduces themes of family, fun, and the adventures awaiting on a vast ranch. The opening of the story introduces us to the Curlytops through their playful banter and imaginary games on a rainy Saturday, which quickly turns into a humorous situation when Trouble takes a tumble down the stairs. As the Martin family prepares for their trip to the ranch after receiving an invitation from Uncle Frank, readers meet the Curlytops’ cherished pet goat, Nicknack, and engage with the joyful chaos of a lively household. The initial chapters set up the characters' playful personalities while hinting at the exciting adventures awaiting them on Uncle Frank's ranch, including the prospect of meeting cowboys and possibly even Indians. Through a mix of lighthearted sibling interactions and imaginative play, the foundation for the upcoming journey is delightfully established.
