    This book was in the collection when I was a children’s librarian in the 1990’s. It was old then and was culled after I left the library (darn!).
    It was small in size, maybe 6 x 8.

    I vaguely remember this book too. I thought it was by Val Willis, and was a companion book tto The Mystery in the Bottle…only made smaller. But for some reason, Penelope Lively keeps coming to miind too..

    Neither of those, sadly.
    I was certain it was a John Goodell book, but now not so sure, as none of his books that I have googled is the right one.
