AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Publisher's blurb in back of books states:

Annette & Co., a worthy sequel to the much-loved Annette of River Bend, will win the hearts of readers young and old. For Irene Cheyne's youthful characters are youth itself, and this second Annette book places her firmly in the front rank of those writers who have captured for us the zest, the humour, the pathos and the rich imaginativeness of childhood.

In this book Annette's own problems are happily solved, so she can turn all her attention to those of little Odd Wattier. Motherless Odd is leading a miserable life among unkindly relatives when Annette meets and befriends him. She finds out that one of his biggest troubles is the mystery surrounding his father's disappearance, and this mystery she determines to solve. Many exciting adventures and discoveries follow, and they all add charm to each of the kind, happy people who become involved: Joujay, the Tucker two, the Cherub, Dan, Potts, the Dragon, Dominic Heath, the mysterious David Stanes, and above all Annette herself.
