| Summary |
"Six Little Bunkers at Captain Ben's" by Laura Lee Hope is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. This story follows the six Bunker children—Russ, Rose, Violet, Laddie, Margy, and Mun Bun—as they embark on new adventures during their family vacation, which takes a turn when a chimney fire disrupts their home life. The narrative captures their playful innocence and spirited imaginations while facing unexpected challenges. The beginning of the story introduces the six little Bunkers playing in their attic, creating a make-believe steamboat, which sets a playful tone for their adventures. However, their fun is quickly interrupted when Rose spots smoke pouring from the chimney, leading to panic as they suspect a fire in their house. With the children’s quick thinking and leadership from their older siblings, Russ and Rose, they navigate the chaos and are soon met by Captain Ben, a relative who arrives to help. His sudden invitation to the family for a vacation at his seashore bungalow adds excitement and promises of adventure—setting the stage for the Bunkers' journey and the unpredictable events that await them.
