Movie Star 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 they have become friends with a famous movie star!
While Tate Radison was filming his last movie, a lot of odd things happened. No one knows who was responsible for the canister of film disappearing or for the other problems. Now Tate wants to keep his presence in Greenfield a secret to avoid any more mishaps. But soon a note arrives in his mailbox, and the troubles start again. Why would someone want to ruin Tate's career? It's another mystery for the Boxcar Children!
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!
