Description: The first novel in Elizabeth Enright's classic children's series The Melendy Quartet, The Saturdays is the work that kicks off the adventures of siblings Mona (13), Rush (12), Randy (10-and-a-half), and Oliver (6). Each sibling gets only $0.50 a week allowance--hardly enough for anything. But on a rainy day, Randy comes up with the idea that they'll pool their allowances, each taking a Saturday to experience the expensive things they want to do. And so begins a summer of adventures: Randy goes to visit an art museum, Rush goes to hear Siegfried at the opera house, Mona (who wants to be a stage actress and is always quoting Shakespeare) visits a salon, Oliver has his own adventure #1: The Saturdays The first novel in Elizabeth Enright's classic children's series The Melendy Quartet, The Saturdays is the work that kicks off the adventures of siblings Mona (13), Rush (12), Randy (10-and-a-half), and Oliver (6).
