This was a YA book that I read back in the 1960s or 70s about a girl who wanted a forever home. It might have been set in England. She had marbles, or maybe just one marble, that she thought carried power. At the end of the book, the marble rolled under the front porch of her new home and she decided that meant that they were there to stay.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Could be “The Mystery House” by Polly Hobson.
Oh my goodness. I think you are right! thank you.
I have been looking for the name of this book for years!! It was one that lived at my Grandparents house and I re-read it every time I visited. I have now purchased a copy for our home. Thank you so much!
