Top-notch Novel for Children

This mysterious children's novel became one of the all time most famous children's novel in the U.S.A. The writer of this marvelous novel, Gertrude Chandler Warner, had what they call writers talent. He made no mistakes and must have had a wonderful experience while writing this story. My self personally collected all of his works of writing. Tons of my friends and family had a trill while reading the mysterious novel. In the begging of his novels you jump right into it and gain interest. The four young children contained in this story are, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. It seems kind of tragic that all four are forced to live in one boxcar. Later most happiness rose up the children's hearts when they moved to their grandfather's home. They all started a children's birthday party planning business. It was a small business, but yet very successful. One evening the children attended a small party at their neighbor's house. The four children were downstairs with the other kids trying to keep the entertained. Mean while the upstairs has been robbed, and their hidden safe emptied. Tons more houses had been robbed, so the Boxcar Children figure there is a mystery to be solved. I'll leave the rest for the young children to read.
