The Riddle Club through the holidays : $b The club and its doings, how the riddles were solved and what the snowman revealed

A group of small-town youngsters gathers each week as the unofficial keepers of the Riddle Club, a quirky circle where membership hinges on paying ten‑cent dues and swapping clever puzzles. Led by the earnest treasurer Fred and the upbeat president Polly, the club’s members—Ward, Artie, Jess, and Margy—juggle petty mishaps, borrowed ink, and a looming Halloween celebration while trying to stay financially afloat. Their banter about missed payments and borrowed money reveals a tightly knit crew that finds humor in the everyday scramble of childhood responsibilities.

When winter snow blankets the town, the club’s antics turn toward a frosty mystery: a carved snowman seems to whisper clues that could crack their newest riddles. As the holidays approach, the kids must combine their inventive thinking, friendship, and a dash of clever detective work to untangle the secret hidden in the icy figure. The story captures the charm of youthful collaboration, the thrill of solving puzzles, and the warm glow of a seasonal adventure.
