The Marvelous Inventions of Alvin Fernald

The Marvelous Inventions of Alvin Fernald
by Clifford B. Hicks, originally published in 1960.

Summary
The Foolproof Burglar Alarm. The Sure Shot Paper Slinger. The Portable Fire Escape. Alvin Fernald invented them all. His brain's working a mile a minute -- just ask his best friend, Shoie, or his little sister, the Pest. But even Alvin needs to think twice around the old Huntley place. It's like something out of a horror movie -- especially because no one's seen Mrs. Huntley in days. Can Alvin and his inventions crack the case?
