The Clock Strikes Thirteen
Mildred Augustine Wirt
Night riders in black hoods are burning barns, and Penny Parker wants the story. The girl reporter works old Seth, tall corn country, and Mr. Blake's suspicious donation until the clock strikes thirteen. Wirt's newsroom heroine, working at her nerviest and best. Hold the front page for her. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
