From inside the book:
About This Alden Mystery
Whenever the Aldens-Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny-start a trip, they expect some sort of adventure or mystery. It all began when they ran away from an orphanage and made a home for themselves in an old boxcar. Of course the best part of that adventure was finding Grandfather Alden.
When the bicycle trip was first planned, Benny hoped it would mean another adventure. But he didn't dream that on a rainy morning in an empty old farmhouse a mystery would find him. That's the way it happened, and the Aldens found themselves in the middle of a puzzle before they knew it.
