JERRY'S

CHARGE

ACCOUNT

by Hazel Wilson

Jerry Martin asked for it. If the candy in Mr. Bartlett's store hadn't
looked so good to him, he wouldn't have started the charge account and
he would have escaped all that worry and trouble.

The worst thing about it was that it was sort of fun, too. It was fun
keeping his twin sister Cathy guessing, fun trying to keep his secret
from the family, especially his little brother Andy.

So Jerry kept getting deeper and deeper into his predicament, like a
man in quicksand. The plain fact was, Jerry's father didn't approve of
charge accounts, and Jerry wasn't likely to change his mind for him,
candy or no candy. Then, when somebody broke into Mr. Bullfinch's
house next door, the trouble became serious.

There is laughter and suspense, and a hidden lesson in this story of
an impulsive boy and his true-to-life family.
