met!
    â€œMaybe that will happen to me,” said Mr. Woods. He squatted down. “Here, kitty. What do you call her, Professor Madison?”
    â€œI hadn’t named her yet. I was hoping I’d find a home for her,” said the professor, kneeling down next to Mr. Woods.
    â€œMaybe we could think of one together,” said Mr. Woods. “Would you help me carry her home?”
    â€œI’d be glad to,” said Professor Madison.
    â€œGreat,” said Whitney, watching the whole scene. “Listen, I’ve got to keep running, but hey, if I ever have a mystery that needs solving, I’ll think of you guys.” With a wave of her hand, she jogged out of the room. A moment later they heard the front door close.
    Henry, Violet, Jessie, and Soo Lee helped Mr. Woods and Professor Madison put the cats into their cat carriers while Benny held Watch.
    â€œHow can I ever thank you?” asked Mr. Woods.
    â€œMaybe we could come visit Spotzie and her friend some time?” asked Violet shyly.
    Mr. Woods smiled cautiously at Violet. “I’d like that,” he told her. “You are all welcome to come visit anytime.”
    Watch barked and Mr. Woods looked over at him. “You, too, Watch. But you’d better not chase any cats!”
    â€œI won’t let him,” promised Benny, still holding on to Watch’s collar.
    Mr. Woods and Professor Madison walked out the front door holding their cat carriers.
    â€œOh, good.” Violet sighed a happy sigh. “We found Spotzie.”
    â€œAnd a home for the little cat,” said Soo Lee.
    â€œAnd Mr. Woods found a new friend and so did Spotzie,” said Jessie.
    â€œAnd we solved the mystery,” said Benny.
    â€œWe sure did, Benny,” said Henry. “We sure did!”

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.
