by Wende & Harry Devlin Devlin ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 15, 1982
As yet another Cranberryport holiday approaches, the characters from Cranberry Thanksgiving and Cranberry Christmas are busy raising money to rebuild the storm-swept town dock. Old seaman Mr. Whiskers is appointed treasurer over mean Mr. Grape's protests; but when the townspeople assemble to count the money on Halloween night, neither Maggie, the little girl of the series, nor Mr. Whiskers has appeared. As readers have witnessed, they've been ambushed by pirates and chased to a spooky old vacant house--but Mr. Whiskers knows a way out through the springhouse, and so the two arrive at the Town Hall celebration in time to expose the pirates as Mr. Grape's two gardeners, acting on his orders. Familiar fare, for partakers of the Devlins' predictable cheer.
