Description

The Mystery on Stage: The Boxcar Children have a chance to be in a real play — The Wizard of Oz! Jessie is chosen for the Cowardly Lion. Benny will play a munchkin. Even Watch has a part and all the Aldens are helping with the show. Then mysterious things begin to happen. Someone makes a threatening phone call and a costume is destroyed. Maybe the show won’t go on — unless the Boxcar Children can solve the mystery before opening night!

The Dinosaur Mystery: The four Aldens like visiting the large old museum owned by their grandfather’s friend. But then Jessie sees a huge, scary shadow moving in the room where the dinosaur skeletons are on display. And bones from the enormous Tyrannosaurus rex disappear. They must find the missing bones and solve the mystery before an exhibit is scheduled to open — or there might not be a dinosaur exhibit at all!

The Mystery of the Stolen Music: An orchestra is coming to town! The children are excited to hear the orchestra play, to meet the musicians, and to learn how to make their own instruments. The orchestra is also displaying a very valuable, old piece of music. But when it mysteriously disappears, it’s up to the Boxcar Children to find it!

About the Author

The Boxcar Children series was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a teacher, when she realized that there were few, if any, books for children that were both easy and fun to read. She drew on her own experiences in writing the mysteries. As a child, she had spent hours watching trains near her home, and often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car. In each story, she chose a special setting and introduced unpredictable, unusual or eccentric characters, to help highlight the Aldens’ independence and resourcefulness. Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Massachusetts until her death in 1979.
