Benny likes Saturdays because he doesn't have to go to school. But one Saturday everything seems to go wrong. Benny can't buy the poster he wants, and then he runs into his teacher outside the supermarket.
Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in Putnam, Connecticut, on April 16, 1890, to Edgar and Jane Warner. Her family included a sister, Frances, and a brother, John. From the age of five, she dreamed of becoming an author. She wrote stories for her Grandfather Carpenter, and each Christmas she gave him one of these stories as a gift. Today, Ms. Warner is best remembered as the author of The Boxcar Children Mysteries.
