With a crunching of the small stones in the gravel drive, the big car swung around to the side entrance of the house, and came to a stop, with a whining, screeching and, generally protesting sound of the brake-bands. A girl, bronzed by the summer sun, let her gloved hands fall from the steering wheel, for she had driven fast, and was tired. The motor ceased its humming, and, with a click, the girl locked the ignition switch as she descended. "Oh, what a run!

Autorenporträt
The Stratemeyer Syndicate wrote three series of books for girls under the name Margaret Penrose, which was a pen name. The books were published by Cupples & Leon. The Dorothy Dale series (1908-1924), the Syndicate's first lengthy series featuring a female protagonist, was the first to utilize this name. The Motor Girls series (1910-1917), a rival to the popular Motor Boys series (1906-1924), also took the moniker in response to this success. The latest new series to bear this moniker was the Radio Girls series (1922-1923). In 1930, the show was converted into a Campfire Girls series after being sold to Goldsmith. The Burglar's Daughter was one "Margaret Penrose"-an authored book that was not a Stratemeyer Syndicate publication (Jordan, Marsh, 1899). It was a coincidence that both pen names were from the Syndicate.¿
