Description

When the Aldens go to dinner at a local Chinese restaurant, Benny can't wait for his favorite part of the meal--dessert. He loves breaking open the delicious fortune cookies and reading the messages inside. But when Benny opens his cookie, instead of a fortune, he finds a handwritten riddle! One cookie leads to another, and the Aldens soon realize they've bitten into another mystery. Who is leaving the Aldens the mysterious cookie clues, and why?

Gertrude Chandler Warner

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car--just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books--a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children(R) series has more than one hundred books.
