The Story of the Treasure Seekers

by E. Nesbit

O the joys of E. Nesbit. The Bastables are absolutely hilarious, and I hope my kids are just as entertaining (and much less troublesome!). The five children attempt to recover the family fortunes that have been lost after the death of their mother. I liked this book much better than some of E. Nesbit's other writing; in fact, it's maybe one of the best books I've ever read. Ever. Please read it!
