From the Newbery medalist, the classic tale of four lively siblings that's filled with both "deeply rooted emotional truth [and] entertainment value"(The New York Times).

Meet the Moffats. There is Sylvie, the oldest, the cleverest, and -- most days at least -- the responsible one; Joey, who despite being only twelve is the man of the house... sometimes; Janey, who has a terrific upside-down way of looking at the world; and Rufus, who may be the littlest but always gets in the biggest trouble.

Even the most ordinary Moffat day is packed with extraordinary fun. Only a Moffat could get locked in a bread box all afternoon, or dance with a dog in front of the whole town, or hitch a ride on a freight-train boxcar during kindergarten recess. And of course, only a Moffat could turn mistakes and mischief into hilarious one-of-a-kind adventure!

"Lots of fun on little money -- that might be the theme of this delightful story... The flavor of the 1890s in a small country town is splendid, the children are real and individuals, the things that happen to them -- and that they happen to -- are fun to read about." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A merry book with abundant humor." -- The Horn Book
