Marion Ames Taggart - Little Grey House

The Grey House is grey in color and is home to the Grey family. In this, the first of the Grey House books, we are introduced to the three Grey sisters, Oswyth, 17, Roberta, 16 and 14 year old Prudence, their sensible and down-to-earth mother and dreamer of a father, an inventor with his head in the clouds. As we grow to know and love the family, their neighbors and relatives, a menacing cloud appears and the girls must rally to save the father they love from his own obstinacy and their home from disaster. Will it all end in tragedy or will they save the day? — Summary by Lynne Thompson
