MAHER, RAMONA. The Abracadabra Mystery.
Dodd, Mead & Company, New York: 1961. First Edition (Unstated). h Hardcover with dustjacket. Reading copy.
Jennet Marsh was thrilled when her widowed mother told her that by a new marriage she was to have a stepbrother, Ted, and a step-sister, Torrey, about her own age. Soon Jennet became absorbed in solving the mystery of the extremely valuable missing print type face or alphabet, deeded to Ted and Torrey by a puzzling clause in their grandfather's will. A strange-acting artist, a linotype operator and printer and the driver of a lurking black car were all suspiciously connected with the missing type face. With this search, Jennet combined the struggle to help her mother establish the happy family for which she longed, in spite of the bitter antagonism of her new stepsister. Winner of the Dodd Mead - Calling All Girls Prize Competition.
