Summary "Watermelon Mystery at Sugar Creek" by Paul Hutchens is a children's novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Bill Collins, who is excited about the prize watermelon he has grown and is distraught when it is stolen from his family's truck patch. The plot promises adventure and mystery as Bill and his friends, including Poetry and Dragonfly, navigate the challenges presented by this theft. At the start of the book, Bill recounts his fondness for his watermelon, named Ida, and his concerns about it being taken. He experiences a mix of pride and frustration as he works hard to nurture Ida, only to have her stolen, triggering a series of escapades with his friends. As the stolen watermelon incident unfolds, intriguing elements are introduced, including a gang of girls, a mysterious thief, and a potential connection to a recent supermarket burglary. These elements set up a whimsical yet thrilling adventure as the characters confront both the mystery of the theft and the complexities of their youthful world.
