A Good Skate!
6 pp · humor; teen
Candy O'ConnorTed DawsonTinaTrish TraynorOrville

Candy O'Connor heads to the ice rink for an afternoon of skating with Ted Dawson, but her rusty skills and wobbly ankles quickly turn the outing into a comedy of tumbles and near-disasters. When a roller-skating carnival contest breaks out, Candy's accidental flair on skates—born more from desperation than finesse—turns heads in unexpected ways.

Candy O'ConnorTinaHarold Winerip

When Tina discovers that Harold Winerip has carved their names on a tree, she's thrilled—until Candy points out the tree is diseased and scheduled for removal. Desperate to save her romantic memento, Tina tries everything from persuasion to poetry to stop the woodman from doing his job, with increasingly chaotic results that only Candy seems to find amusing.

Candy O'ConnorTed DawsonAshley HartburnCornelia Clyde

When Candy O'Connor gets cast as Juliet in Hartwick High's Shakespeare production, she's thrilled—but drama class director Ashley Hartburn has his own plans for the role, and fellow student Cornelia Clyde is determined to claim it for herself. As the cast prepares for opening night, schemes and sabotage threaten to derail the entire performance in this madcap 1953 comedy from Candy #42.

Candy and Tina start a house-cleaning service to make some extra money, and after Ted Dawson offers them a ride in his car, they land their first big job—a sprawling mansion where a young boy says his mother would love the help. What follows is a comedic disaster as the inexperienced cleaners wreak havoc: Ted mistakes a lawn mower for a vacuum cleaner, Orville accidentally uses bubble bath to mop the floors, and priceless paintings get destroyed in the chaos. When the homeowner finally arrives home, the girls discover the terrible truth about their new "clients."

Candy O'ConnorTed DawsonAgnes O'ConnorTrish TraynorProfessor RichardsMrs. Richards

Candy's determined to get Professor Richards to ask her to the prom, so she buys a cheap perfume and soaks in it before school, hoping the scent will make him notice her. When he does pick up on the smell, he's impressed—but for an entirely different reason than she expected. By the time Candy realizes what's actually happened, it's too late to undo her plan.
