Description

The Mystery at Skeleton Point: When Grandfather’s friend bought Skeleton Point, she invited the Alden children to help her fix it up. But this empty mansion is even spookier than it looks. The man who used to live there studied bones — but the house is filled with skeletons! Then, the mansion’s valuable statues begin to disappear. Could the Skeleton Point ghost be causing mischief?

The Tattletale Mystery: It’s time for the annual Greenfield art contest, and the Alden children are meeting the artist and learning all about art! But when they receive a mysterious message signed by the “Tattletale,” they realize that not everything is as it seems. What could the Tattles want from the Aldens — and who is the mysterious message-writer? It’s a painting puzzler for the Boxcar Children!

The Comic Book Mystery: The Alden children are searching for a rare comic book about their favorite superhero, Captain Fantastic. When they finally find the comic, they discover that Captain Fantastic has a real-life enemy. Who would want to sabotage a superhero? The Aldens will need their super power of investigation to catch this comic book culprit!

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.
