Sea View Secret
Elizabeth Kinsey, Mary Stevens
Paperback
(A Tab Book, March 15, 1958)
Peter and Jane Bowman doubt they'll find anything exciting about existence in their modern box of a house after they move to Sea View from the city. But it's a matter of hours before they get acquainted with the tenants of an old mansion across the way- Stephen, Kate and old Aunt Matilda Jessup whose plight, lack of funds for necessary upkeep, sends all concerned into a wild hunt for jewelry hidden years ago by a pet monkey of the Jessup's sea-going grandfather. Baby sitting, earning money for a new stove for Aunt Matilda, cleaning the old house, make this the many sided kind of story that's fun to read.
