A Dramatic Disappearance

New York Times bestselling author Stacia Deutsch has written more than three hundred children's books, including mysteries with the Boxcar Children and Nancy Drew, movie tie-in novels, and books in the Girls Who Code and Spirit chapter book series. She lives in Temecula, California. <p/> 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.
