"The Boys Start The War"
The Hatford brothers were expecting three boys to move into the house across the river, where their best friends used to live, the Malloy girls arrive instead. Wally and his brothers decide to make Caroline and her sisters so miserable that they'll want to go back to Ohio, but they haven't counted on the ingenuity of the girls.

From dead fish to dead bodies, floating cakes to floating heads, the pranks and tricks continue - first by the boys, then the girls - until someone is taken prisoner!.

Then....

"The Girls Get Even"
Still smarting over the boys latest trick on them, the girls are determined to get even.

Caroline's thrilled to play the part of Goblin Queen in the school play, especially since Waly Hatford has to be her footman.
The boy's however have a creepy plan for Halloween night. They are certain the girls will walk right into it. Little do the boys know what the Malloy sisters have in store.

Good reading fun.
