CHILDREN'S CORNER: JUDY BOLTON

Margret Sutton

Author of the Judy Bolton Mystery Series

The Judy Bolton Mystery Series began giving Nancy Drew a run for her money . . . and books . . . since 1932 . . . and still does in some quarters!

Judy, her family and friends weren’t perfect like Nancy but they tried. They also changed as they grew. Most of them anyway!

There is a website devoted to Judy at www.judybolton.com that lists some of the recipes from the website that you all might want to try, especially as a family because some of these get involved and you might need help.

Rainbow Riddle Wedding Reception[1]

"The wedding supper turned out to be all Judy had hopped . . . [however] Roberta was being very quiet at the table. She hardly touched the dainty sandwithes or the chicken salad Elitha piled on her plate. There was fruit punch so that everyone could drink to the bride's health." (The Rainbow Riddle, pp. 63-64)
