Which book is set in the Bay Area near San Francisco?

• A. The Penderwicks
• B. The Secret Garden
• C. The Fourteenth Goldfish
• D. The Boxcar Children

Answer: (C)

Setting tells us where a story unfolds and how that place shapes what happens and who the characters are. The book set in the Bay Area near San Francisco is The Fourteenth Goldfish. It follows Ellie and her scientist grandfather in California, with details that reflect a Northern California home and lifestyle, anchoring the tale in that region. The other books take place elsewhere: The Penderwicks is a summer story in New England; The Secret Garden is set in England; The Boxcar Children follows adventures in various locations, not specifically the Bay Area. So this book is the one that matches the Bay Area setting.
