MamaBearTeacher Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I read it in the early 1980s but I don't know when it was published. It is about a boy and a girl who open a small restaurant in their garden, I think. One is the chef the other the waiter. It is in a small town and people in the town come and like it. I remember they pick berries to serve once. That is all I remember. I read it as an adolescent and liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I don't remember it as a novel but I have a short story that is very similar. A boy and a girl open a shop/small cafe on the side of the road in a grassy area to help out their aunt. They make paper boxes, fill them with berries, sell lemonade and homemade cookies. It's a rather popular stop until someone in the town decides to bust out city ordinance and tell them they have to move. Familiar? Or different story? It's in a book I have upstairs.

Could be but the one I read was in novel form and I remember them making full meals. I don't remember why they did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 If you can't find it, you might try asking on Reddit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guinevere Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Yellow Shop by Rachel Field? That might be the same one that Home Again suggested. I've never read the whole novel, because it is an excerpt in a collection of children's stories I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaBearTeacher Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I don't think that's the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
