The Aldens are on their first trip to Chicago--the Windy City--and from Wrigley Field to the Sears Tower to Grant Park, there is so much to see. However, when they are given a series of clues in rhyme, they find themselves in the middle of two mysteries.
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.
