A hip new doughnut shop known for its bizarre recipes is opening up in Greenfield. At first, the owners of the other doughnut shop in town, Delilah’s, aren’t worried. But when the new shop starts making doughnuts that look just like some of Delilah’s greatest hits, the Boxcar Children must figure out if it’s just a coincidence or if someone from the new shop is stealing Delilah’s recipes.
Gertrude Chandler Warnerwas born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she taught school and wrote. She was inspired to writeThe Boxcar Childrenbecause she had often imagined how delightful it would be to live in a caboose or freight car. Encouraged by the book's success, she went on to write 18 more stories about the Alden children. In 2017, this beloved series celebrated its 75th Anniversary!
