The House at Hoot Pen

Their parents are somewhere else. Uncle Houston is away at sea. Delphinia, Hector, their little brother Horatio and their shy cousin Addie, who doesn't know any of these people, travel to Uncle Houston's lonely, isolated house on the Hoot Peninsula for a holiday at the edge of the ocean with Aunts Cora, Ivy and Molly. Delphinia and Hector have to look after their little brother and not leave him alone for even a minute. Happily, Hatch, the aunts' steadfast watchdog, is guarding the house at Hoot Pen.
