Three Knocks on the Wall

"Marty had just finished burying a dead robin near the tall wooden fence that surrounded the Hutchinson back yard and the house next door. Suddenly she heard it⁠—knock, knock, knock⁠—three knocks coming from the other side of the wall. For a moment Marty was too petrified to move. Knocking on a wall was something a crazy person might do and some people said old Mrs. Hutchinson was crazy, living alone with an unmarried daughter and seeing no one. Then the knocks came again. Marty soon learned the identity of the person on the other side of the ten-foot wall, and why she stayed there. What was harder to discover was a way to help her new yet unseen friend. For a long time all Marty could do was communicate through the wall and be patient. It was not until a deadly flu epidemic gripped the town and Marty could not come to the wall that her friend finally dared to step outside it. Evoking small town life in Oregon during World War I with vividness and a clear sense of time and character, Evelyn Sibley Lampman has created a very human and dramatic story that will carry its readers along to a most satisfying conclusion."

The Bounces of Cynthiann'

"All the long way from Rhode Island to Oregon, via Cape Horn and then by stagecoach, trekked the four Bounce orphans, to live with their Uncle Seth. But he had died before receiveing their letter announcing they were on the way. Arriving in the little pioneer town of Cynthianna, tired, hungry, and homeless in the midst of strangers, their plight would have been sad indeed if kind Rufus Boster and his wife, Nancy, hadn't befriended them. It was they who arranged temporary homes for the Bounces-Johanna, the baby, to stay with them, Luke to go with old Doc Kinsey, Markia to help the Mrs. Weddle at the boarding house, and Matt, the eldest, to work in the print shop of the town's newspaper the Cynthianna Shield. Matt and Markia's big problem was to fulfill the promise to their mother, keeping the Bounces together as a family. How they finally accomplished this and how even Peaches Charley, the Indian, and Feng, the Chinese laborer who hid in Mrs. Weddle's barn, and strange old Widow Morrison, all had a hand in solving the Bounces' problem. Evelyn Sibley Lampman, author of The Shy Stegosaurus books, City Under the Back Steps, Three Knocks on the Wall and Bargain Bride, tells an absorbing and entertaining story-and Grace Paull's numerous pictures make the Bounces and their neighbors real and unforgettable people."

The Shy Stegosaurus of Indian Springs

"A supposedly extinct dinosaur, who looks like a mountain in motion, can be an alarming kind of friend. But Huck and his friends, Joan and Joey Brown, found that George, the shy stegosaurus, could be very helpful. Huck lived on an Indian reservation in Oregon with his great-grandfather Opalo, the tribe's former medicine man. He was a lonely boy until a banana and a resort vacation brought the four friends together. From that day on Huck had no time to be unhappy, the friends stayed busy with picnics, fishing, and Indian wrestling-which they always let George win! Join the friends on their adventures with George, the shy stegosaurus with the pea-sized brain, in this sequel to The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek."

The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek

"Suppose you were hunting around in the desert for a fossil and instead you found a real (and very large) dinosaur, genus Stegosaurus. Joan and Joey Brown did! Nobody believed they had found one, which was just as well because George (as they called him) was very shy. He was a loyal friend, doing his best to help the twins make money to finance their mother's dry little ranch on Cricket Creek. George ate sagebrush, looked for fossils, and fought an plane (which he thought was a pterodactyl) with faithful enthusiasm, but his walnut-sized brain often made him more hindrance than help. Especially when he went after the bank robber! This story is told so convincingly that you'll be looking for dinosaurs around every mesa. And who knows? Maybe you'll find one!"
