BOOK: The view from the cherry tree by Roberts

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Roberts, Willo Davis._The view from the cherry tree_,1975 [0-689-
71784-9]
Rob was sitting in his cherry tree when he sees his elderly
neighbor get pushed out of a window and fall to her death.  His
family is preparing for a wedding on the next day so they don't
listen to him and everyone (including the police) thinks it is an
accident. After the killer tries to shoot and then poison him, he
gets really worried.  Still everything at his house is so hectic, no
one will listen to him so he runs away.  This 181 page book ends
when the killer corners Rob in the house next store.  This is
Roberts usual good mystery (and her first children's book
according to the book cover); the are three sub plots going on and
the suspense keeps building.  One thing that you may want to
know, his father hates his cat and is nicknamed S.O.B. -- the cat
(and its name) is featured prominently in the book.
