The Search for Ole Ben's Treasure

Trouble comes to Ole Ben's farm two years after the Williams family take possession of the house and land. The year was 1937 and the USA was still suffering from a Depression. Mother had to have an operation, rains were late arriving to make the crops grow, and a neighbor boy named Spooky was threatening the whole family with a knife, especially Jimmy's younger sister Millie. It was rumored Ole Ben, who willed these acres to his great niece Sara, had left a mysterious treasure somewhere about the place. Did he? Jimmy's pets, golden-haired Collie Nero and Nero's friend, a yellow clay-colored calf named Rosie, always play a major role in the Williams children's story.
