Betty Gordon shared a room with Bobby, Louise and Betty Littell had the one adjoining, and Esther slept alone in the third room, which was also connected with the others.

This book is the book you "must" read after reading the first book in the series. Many of the main characters which will be found in the rest of the series are first introduced in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and this book in particular.
