"The Riddle Club Through the Holidays" by Alice Dale Hardy is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a group of six young friends who form the Riddle Club, exploring their adventures and plans as they transition from summer activities to winter festivities, specifically focusing on their upcoming Hallowe'en party. The narrative captures their interactions, antics, and teamwork, offering a mix of humor and camaraderie, making it appealing to young readers interested in friendship and mystery. At the start of the book, the members of the Riddle Club — Polly, Fred, Jess, Ward, Artie, and Margy — engage in lighthearted discussions about club dues and their upcoming plans. The setting is established in the chilly loft of Larue’s barn, where the kids brainstorm ideas for a Hallowe'en party while contemplating the challenges of meeting in the cold winter months ahead. The dialogue showcases their personalities and relationships, reflecting the playful and competitive spirit typical of childhood groups, while foreshadowing upcoming adventures and decisions they will face as the season changes.
