The space where my thumb should be was aching.  Deena never believes me when I tell her that.  “Things that aren’t there can’t hurt you,” she always says.  But they do.  And I should know.
 
Macey McCallister, “Niner” to her classmates, is missing a lot of things – her thumb, her birth parents, her history – and now her adoptive mother has disappeared as well.  So one morning when Macey finds a locket on her front lawn, she is convinced that it is a sign, something placed there just for her.  But when others seem to want the locket as well, Macey, her sister Deena, and their friends are unwittingly drawn into the middle of a frightening and dangerous game.  In the midst of this danger, Macey must confront an ugly truth.  Was it her fault that Mom left?  Was it time for her to find her birth parents?  From the innocent discovery of the locket to the surprise revelation of its significance, Macey is faced with a question that will affect the rest of her life.  When she finds the answer, she also discovers something of great importance – the place she truly belongs.

The Boxcar Children series was started in 1942 by Gertrude Chandler Warner. Though Mrs. Warner died in 1979, novels about the mystery-solving Alden children continue to be popular.  The novel that I have written, The Vampire Mystery, is number 120 in the series.  For more information about Gertrude Chandler Warner and for a list of the other Boxcar Children stories, click on the link:
