The Aldens are helping one of Grandfather’s friends break a world record by building the world’s largest yo-yo! As they help with the project, strange things begin to happen. First someone follows them, and then the plans for the yo-yo turn up missing. Someone is trying to sabotage the yo-yo before it’s launched! It seems there are a few people in Greenfield who don’t want this yo-yo completed. The Boxcar Children will piece the evidence together to get to the bottom of this mystery.
GERTRUDE CHANDLER WARNER was born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she later taught school. She 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.
