They were 15 months into marriage. They both worked at the Paml Beach Post, as writers. They killed a plant, the plant that he bought and she killed because she didn't "like it." He made sure he told her not to overwater it, but since she didn't "like it," she overwatered it. Jenny (his wife) wanted kids but he thought they were scary, fragile, and helpless. So they decided in looking into buying a dog instead. They both grew up with dogs and love them a lot, so they thought that would be a good idea. They lived in a two room, one-bath aparatment in Flordia and their neighbors name was Lori. She walks in one day with a Yellow Labrador Retriever. They dog was a proud mama having babies. The father's name was Sammy Boy. They couldn't wait to see the pupies! A couple days later, Lori calls them into her apaprtment and shows them the puppies. They were pretty darn adorable. Lori was asking for $400 for a female and $375 for a male. They bought a male for $350 dollars. They did the scare test, the one they picked out, was the one who was the most playful. He jumped out at him and barked.

The next day at nightfall, those kid get chased by wierd guys in dark maskes and glasses. Just a ordinary day.

This book is starting to get interesting now. It keeps me wanting to read more with the suspense that the author has in store.

The girls are enjoying theirselves in California; especially Lakey and the mother. Lakey is enjoyeng herself because she is with her father, and the mother is happy because she kind of loves Lakey's father. Then, one night, the mother tells the girls they have to go away now. This upsets them because now lakey's dad and their mom won't be together, they can'd say goodbye to Lakey's father; who is the favorite of all the girls, and they don;t know why they have to leave the place where they've been really happy.
When the girls stop at a motel, they call Lakey's father, to tell him they've left. When they get home, their mother starts going out all the time, more than usual, and this round of dates are all with rich men. When the mother is out on a date, the girls look at some documents in their mother's private drawer. In there, they find a lot of pictures with their mom and various men, and legal papers; one being the one that answered their questions. It was a paper from Maddie's {the youngest girl} father Mr Bronson, demanding for custody. That explains why they left for C.A.; to go somewhere that Mr. Bronson couldn't find them, and it explains why they left C.A.; because he had found them.

So far, i like this book alot. I like that the four daughters are ll of different races{1/2ly..and i forgot to put in actual blog} and that they all can't live without eachother. So far, the plot is also interesting and suspensful.

Also, ethan zaph has collapsed on the mountain while climbing, and know tilt, perry, and sammi are going to rescue him and his partner.
I like this book because you never know what is going to happen, and you can also relate tp the characters because they are only about 12, 13 or 14.

Chapters 17-21
a crap load of information in these chapters.

Will and Chester finally break through the cave in in their basement. The kids then make a checklist of what they need to go into said tunnel, for young Willium is determained to find his father. they get into a huge cavern, with great stalactites and stalacmites that form collums, and the floor is bearly vivible underneath a large pool. the inhabitants are armies of eyeless rats. Will finds a huge brass door, looks like one from a ship, with a porthole and everything. after going through many rooms with advance wireing, the kids finally come to a seemingly deserted Georgian town/city. fires are crackling in hearths, pictures up on the wall, warm tea. the houses are all lined in rows next to a cobblestone road. there are plenty of shops with weird foods, like the kind that were served in colonial times. just when the kids turn back, a carriage comes roaring down the road pulled by horses. there are men in this carriage, but not normal men. their faces pale and eyes pitch black, with the strengh of 4 men, on of these creatures pulls Poor Will and Chester into leather seats. These guys are pissed. to them, the kids are trespassers, and they are surface dwellers as well. the population of the city comes out now, they look pissed too. the too kids are thrown in, what appears to be a jail cell, terrified for thier lives.

this author sucks. who could write that much in one chapter. they were good chapters, full of thrillers, but very long
