Katie | 42 comments I think this was a series, or at least had a few books. The family had a bunch of kids (10ish?), and their names were all alphabetical. So the oldest's name started with A, the next was B, etc. I'm pretty sure there was a set of twins. Each chapter focused on a separate kid. I think the first book started with them moving from a city to somewhere in the country. I think one if the chapters involved a secret room or hidden passage in the new house. They got a pet at one point and its name started with Z so they could work backwards alphabetically. I likely ready it in the late 80s or early 90s, and I don't know how old it was when I read it.

Thanks in advance!

All done. If you're viewing the mobile website (not the desktop website) on your iPad, then you won't see the edit link beside your topic header. That's what we click before selecting one of the Solved folders.

By the way, you can switch to the desktop version (which has all the Group features) by opening the menu (≡) and selecting "Switch to Desktop".
