The Gymnastics Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner
One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. 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 a young Russian gymnast has come for a visit.
Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are happy to share their home with Katya, the young gymnast, and to watch her practice for the big competition. When things start going wrong at the gym it quickly becomes clear that someone is trying to ruin Katya's chances of winning. But who?
The Aldens want to help. The trouble is, Katya's been acting a little mysterious herself -- almost as if she's got something to hide. But what?
Can the Boxcar Children solve both mysteries before the big competition?
American author Gertrude Chandler Warner (1890-1979) wrote several stories for children, and her 1924 book, The Box-Car Children, was so successful that she published 18 sequels. The series' popularity has continued to grow: there are currently 150 other books, written by many authors, as well as two animated films. Warner was also a school teacher who read the original story to her classes and rewrote it many times to make sure that it would be both engaging and easy to read. She noted that the book raised a storm of protest from librarians who thought the children were having too good a time without any parental control! That is exactly why children like it!
