Publisher Description
Come meet the four Melendy kids—Mona, Rush, Randy and Oliver!
Randy and Oliver Melendy awake one morning full of gloom. Their brothers and sisters are away, the house seems forlorn and empty, and even Cuffy, their adored housekeeper, can’t pick up their spirits. Will they have to face a long and lonely winter? But a surprise message in the mailbox starts a trail of excitement and adventure that takes them through the cold season. When summer comes around, the children have found fourteen messages in all, and the end of the search brings them a rich reward.
Here is the fourth in Elizabeth Enright's classic children’s series telling the tales of a long and glorious summer in the country with the resourceful, endearing Melendy bunch!

"This was a departure from the style of the first Melendy books but was just as enjoyable. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the scavenger hunt that Mona and Oliver were on but as the story progressed and developed into the little side stories of other characters I enjoyed it more. The end of the hunt was truly delightful and was a wonderfully heartwarming end to this book as well as the quartet."

" A great family book! Listened to it on a trip. Now we need to go back and listen to the other ones. "
— Diane, 12/23/2013 -
" The last Melendy book was my least favorite. Much like how I didn't enjoy the Narnia books quite as much once some of the characters had grown up, similarly, Spiderweb for Two is missing something due to several of the characters having grown up and out of the story. "

" Now to complete the Melendy quartet...and it was a great ending. You always know you've read a great book when you're sad it's over. I have become rather attached to the Melendys, but I know where to find them again. "

" I love the Saturday's series. I love it when kids can have fun without electricity. I had to read all of the four books and was sad when it was over. "

" This was a delightful book. Oliver and Randy held their own as the primary characters. It was a quick read and utterly enjoyable. "
— Katherine, 2/24/2013 -
" i grew up with a well-read set of the first three books in the melendy quartet. it wasn't until last month that i stumbled upon book #4; it was tantamount to discovering that Tolkien had written a fourth Lords of the Rings, or that Rowling had an eighth book lurking in the Harry Potter series. "
— Julie, 2/10/2013 -
" This was actually the first Melendy book I read as a kid, so I wasn't as attached to the older siblings as others were. But boy, howdy, did I identify with Randy. "

" With the three older Melendy children off to boarding scchool Miranda and Liver find that their days are quieter and they miss their siblngs. But they get notes in the mail that send them on adventures across the countryside. A beautiful story. "

" i didn't read very many mystery books as a kid. i happened upon this one and really enjoyed it. therefore it seemed at the top of its class to me, since i usually eschewed other books of its genre. "

" This, along with Tatsinda, are my two favorite Enrights! "
— CLM, 7/18/2011 -
" I love the Melendy Series. Elizabeth Enright is one of my favorite children's authors. <br/> <br/>When the older siblings go away to school, Randy and Oliver are kept busy with a type of treasure hunt. Clues give them something to think about and do so the won't miss their siblings quite so much. "
