The Aldens start a party planning business in Greenfield, but the fun and games comes to a halt after a safe is robbed during an event. When another safe is emptied at the next birthday party, it’s time for the Boxcar Children to trade their party hats for detective caps.
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.
