No one knew them. No one knew where they had come from. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny used to live alone in a boxcar. Now they have a home with their grandfather, and they have started a children's birthday party planning business. Cakes! Decorations! Party games and favors! The Alden children are having fun helping out at neighborhood birthday parties. But then, a house is robbed -- its hidden safe emptied -- while Jessie, Henry, Benny, and Violet are downstairs entertaining the young guests! When a second house safe is robbed during one of their parties, the Boxcar Children decide there's a mystery to be solved. Will they succeed before another safe is emptied -- and another birthday ruined? |

Contributor Bio(s): Warner, Gertrude Chandler: - Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she taught school and wrote The Boxcar Children because she had often imagined how delightful it would be to live in a caboose or freight car. Encouraged by the book's success, she went on to write eighteen more stories about the Alden children. |
