Synopsis
Room One is a story about sixth grader Ted Hammond. He is an avid mystery fan and detective. But on one of his normal newspaper routes, he looks into the Andersons' house. He sees a mysterious face through the attic window. He passes by but soon remembers that the Anderson's moved out years ago. That's when Ted became determined to find out whose, or what's, face that is. It turns out to be April (who he thought was Alexa), a girl who lived in the Anderson's farm for just a short while. April asks Ted to get them food and supplies. Ted does so happily, but has to be sneaky, because he is taking it from his own home. Ted not wanting his mom to find him taking extra food, wakes up early in the morning to collect food for April and her family. Ted makes it out safe early in the morning without being caught.
