Summary "Clue of the Silken Ladder" by Mildred A. Wirt is a mystery novel written in the early 1940s. The story centers around Penny Parker, a spirited and adventurous young girl, as she navigates a series of puzzling events, including the acquisition of an old car, a friend's inheritance, and an encounter that hints at a deeper mystery involving a silk ladder found in a curio shop. This initial outing sets the stage for Penny's mix of mischief and inquisitiveness, promising readers a blend of excitement and intrigue as the plot unfolds. At the start of the book, Penny finds herself tangled in parking woes and a penchant for adventure after purchasing an old car, Leaping Lena. During a trip to a curio shop, she discovers a mysterious silk ladder that intrigues her. As she interacts with her friend Louise, they encounter a variety of challenges, including a car accident that leads to a fine and unexpected debt. The stage is set for Penny to follow her curiosity, becoming embroiled in a looming mystery that intertwines with her friend's newfound fortune and the shadowy figures connected to the silk ladder. This opening effectively introduces readers to Penny's character, her relationship with those around her, and hints at the thrilling escapades to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
