The Key in the Sand

About the Book

When Inky, the family dog, dug up a key in the sand, Patty, Gay, Dickie, and DeeDee are anxious to fi nd out what it belongs to. This story is a mytery for younger children with a setting in the Mt. Hood Recreational Area. The youngsters about whom it is written, not only helped create the plot, but were the constant source of the incidents used throughout. They gladly “play-acted” any invention suggested and I think contributed a feeling of realism to the story. Marjory R. Nelson
