Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden once lived in a boxcar, but now live with their grandfather in Greenfield. They’ve become friends with Kevin Reynolds, their favorite hockey star. He wants to build an ice rink in Greenfield, and begin a girls’ hockey team. But now, equipment is missing, and someone is trying to ruin plans for the rink. The Boxcar Children must help their new friend solve this mystery!

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.
