Summary: "Us and the Bottle Man" by Edith Ballinger Price is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around siblings Jerry, Greg, and Chris Holford, who embark on imaginative escapades during their summertime picnics on the island of Wecanicut. The children’s childhood whims lead them to write a playful message in a bottle, which ultimately brings unexpected correspondence from a mysterious figure they call the "Bottle Man," setting the stage for unique adventures and growing friendship. The opening of the book introduces us to the three main characters and their setting, highlighting their playful schemes during a picnic.
