About This Book

Members of a large family with two pairs of mischievous twins discover an abandoned infant during a storm and bring her into their home. When neighbors recall a strange old woman with a green umbrella, the parents notify the police and the household becomes involved in searching for the baby's rightful guardians. The plot moves through a sequence of perilous incidents — a railroad accident, runaways, lost wandering in the woods, night rescues, chases, and a final capture — that test the children's resourcefulness and the family's kindness while unraveling the mystery of the child's origin.
