The Fire Mystery

The Alden children found a heavy hat in the attic inside the house. They found grandfather sitting in his favourite chair sipping coffee and reading the newspaper. Grandfather told them that he worked at the fire house long time ago. Then, grandfather asked them if they would like to go to the firehouse where he worked. They asked grandfather why he had a fireman’s hat. The firehouse is about to be teared down because there were more people in town now and they couldn’t afford to have 2 fire stations. They were trying to save the firehouse. A bell suddenly, rang! The fire fighters put on their gear and they jumped on board. It was just few minutes when they came back. It was a false alarm. Mike and another woman came back. Mike told the children that he was afraid that the firehouse was going to be teared down. Ms. Lerner the woman had already hired a architect to draw plans of building a new firehouse. The next morning, they rode back to the firehouse. They had moved all the trucks out so they could paint the walls of the garage. They laid out newspapers on the ground so the ground wouldn’t have paint on it. They put masking tape around the light switches and doorknobs so they wouldn’t get paint all over. They started painting. At noon time, the Aldens were almost finished painting one side of the garage. There was a false alarm last night. When Henry returned the walls were almost done. Ms. Lerner wants to tear the building so they have to work twice as hard. With the help with few fire fighters the garage was fully with paint. Then, they painted the sign outside the building. Violet decided to repaint the old window boxes. They decide to have some evergreens. They continued to paint the next day. When Benny was about to put the lids on, the alarm rang! The fire fighters jumped into their trucks and drove off. When they got their, they noticed that there wasn’t any fire. Christine and a few fire fighters went into the house full of smoke and began fanning it. The next morning mike looked unhappy. He was unhappy because there was a puddle of white paint. Benny had put the lid on and they were wondering why the cans were knocked over. They discover that the evergreens have been smashed and Sparky’s blanket was missing. The bottom shelf’s trophies were missing. One day near Mr. Frerderick, Sparky began barking. They looked inside Mr. Frederick’s car and they found Spark’s blanket and the missing trophies. The police tied him up.




I like this book because this is a mystery and the story is going too wrong when they are trying to save the firehouse. I like the style the author used. In the part, the garage was spilled with paint, I would me mad at whoever did it. Then I would try to clean it up. Like the Alden’s, I never give up. If I bought new trees and someone stepped on them, I would buy new trees again. I would recommend this book to Breenadan because he reads A to Z mysteries too.
