    Benny wanted to hear the title. “What?”
    “Benny: The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Talking.”
    “I’ll want to read that when we come back to Ragged Cove someday,” Jessie said, laughing with everyone.
    Benny had one more thing to talk about. “We have to come back to find out about those lights we saw and those voices we heard at Howling Cliffs. Did anybody find anything about that in these old books and papers?”
    Captain Hull and Miss Coffin both shook their heads.
    “Not a thing,” Spooner Cooke said. “That will always be a mystery.”
    “Goody,” Benny said. “Now I’m sure we’ll be back!”

About the Author
    G ERTRUDE C HANDLER W ARNER discovered when she was teaching that many readers who like an exciting story could find no books that were both easy and fun to read. She decided to try to meet this need, and her first book, The Boxcar Children, quickly proved she had succeeded.
    Miss Warner drew on her own experiences to write the mystery. As a child she spent hours watching trains go by on the tracks opposite her family home. She often dreamed about what it would be like to set up housekeeping in a caboose or freight car — the situation the Alden children find themselves in.
    When Miss Warner received requests for more adventures involving Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, she began additional stories. In each, she chose a special setting and introduced unusual or eccentric characters who liked the unpredictable.
    While the mystery element is central to each of Miss Warner’s books, she never thought of them as strictly juvenile mysteries. She liked to stress the Aldens’ independence and resourcefulness and their solid New England devotion to using up and making do. The Aldens go about most of their adventures with as little adult supervision as possible — something else that delights young readers.
    Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Connecticut, until her death in 1979. During her lifetime, she received hundreds of letters from girls and boys telling her how much they liked her books.
