Series: The Boxcar Children
by Author Gertrude Chandler Warner
The Camp-Out Mystery (1992)
I have read The Boxcar Children the Camp-Out Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner. I finished this book on 4/5/13. This book is a mystery. What I liked about this book is that it kept me on my heels. You didn’t know what would happen next which really kept it interesting. Someone turned the sign t...
Mountain Top Mystery (1990)
Another non-mystery, there just wasn't any investigating. Seriously, all the kids do is say, "Gee Grandfather wouldn't it be great if we could use our vast fortune to help everyone we meet so that they won't have to worry about anything?" And then Grandpa Alden says, "Why that's a great idea! Who...
Tree House Mystery (1990)
I really liked this story. They meet some people who, to everyone's surprise, don't want to be friends. Benny, unsurprisingly, is going to try to make friends with them anyway. The Alden children aren't perfect anymore. Benny was rude (he called the neighbor children dumb), but he did admit he wa...
The Dinosaur Mystery (1995)
I think it is great,but the mystery is so simple.
The Great Bicycle Race Mystery (2000)
Today I am going to write about a book that I just read i hope you like it.The book I just read is called The Great Bicycle Race Mystery and the author is Gertrude Chandler Warner. The story talks about five siblings that love riding bikes. Who are Henry, Jessy, Violet, and Benny. They want to sa...
The Haunted Clock Tower Mystery (2001)
Haven't read any of the Boxcar Children in about....** years now, since I have no real reason to as they're quite juvenile even by children's book standards, i.e. little for adults to enjoy, even those that do read other juvenile fiction, but my online library has a number of these available, so ...
The Mystery in the Cave (1995)
While Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny were eating lunch, Benny fell into a sinkhole. So everyone got in and saw that Benny wasn't too far down. They went just a little farther down in the cave and saw it was okay. So they got out and got their supplies, and went to tell Mr. Howe that they were g...
The Mystery of the Mummy's Curse (2002)
Huh. How about that. There's an actual criminal in this one.
The Mystery of the Star Ruby (2002)
The book 'The Mystery of the Star Ruby' from the series the Boxcar Children follow the Alden children: Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. This book brings me back to my childhood since the Boxcar Children series was one of the first chapter books I read. I read these books up until my teacher sa...
Mystery of the Fortune Cookie (2005)
As a young girl I remember reading any Boxcar Children book I could get my hands on. It was one of my series' like the Babysitter's Club. Oh the memories! I liked this book quite a bit. I couldn't quite call it amazing since I pretty much had the book figured out before the end, but it was still ...
The Summer Camp Mystery (2001)
For my one-hundredth review, I knew I had to do something special, so I decided to return to the deep past and tell a funny childhood story.Once upon a time, when I approximately seven years old, I was at my Michigan grandparents' house for a week in the summer. One afternoon, my cousin Erik and ...
The Hockey Mystery (2001)
I like this book since my favorite and the only sport which I watch is hockey along with having a interesting story line it just felt like this book deserved some recoganization with five stars. I have to say that this book is a lot better with them at their grandfather with them.
Mystery Ranch (1989)
Reason for Reading: This is part of my Random Bookshelf Reading project. I'm also working on re-reading this series and collecting the first 19.This book takes a small turn from the formula of the first three. First the boxcar is not mentioned at all, not even in reminiscences of the past, and t...
Bicycle Mystery (1990)
I read just about every one of these I could get my hands on when I was a child. In my later teens, I picked up the series again to see what it was that I liked so much about the series. The answer: realistic characters, believable storyline, and a kind of summer escapist's daydream into some thi...
The Boxcar Children (1989)
Never having read any of The Boxcar Children series as a kid, a friend recently gave me a copy of an ebook comprising the first 12 volumes to see what I missed out on. As a boy, I had been a fan of Enid Blyton's books, which were largely set in Britain, so I was curious to see how something simil...
The Haunted Cabin Mystery (1991)
At the begging of the book they are just wanting to go on a vacation out in the woods. They got there vacation and they had a guide that told the history about the place they are camping at. The middle of the book they go and serch and they whole section of land and they found a old abandon she...
Disappearing Staircase Mystery (2001)
I know my daughter loves these but they make me crazy. The Alden children are wholesome, sweet and industrious - gag-inducingly so. Their grandfather is a kind rich indulgent "semi-parent" but often the children (the oldest is either 14 or 15) are left entirely to their own devices. They are very...
The Mystery on the Train (1996)
My son and I enjoyed the setting of this story much more than the plot. Since none of us have ever been on an overnight train, it was a good insight as to what the ride would be like, and how the trains are laid out, and how often they stop. The plot itself (movie posters being protected by a gir...
The Castle Mystery (1993)
I have read The Boxcar Children the Castle Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner. I finished this book on 12/15/12. This book is a mystery. What I liked about this book is that it kept me on my heels. There were always twists and turns and it was really suspenseful. All through the story there were...

The Animal Shelter Mystery (1991)
I think it is going to be a great book
Mystery Behind the Wall (1991)
OK, let me preface my review by saying that I had no idea that The Boxcar Children was an entire series. I found this book in a pile of old books on a whim. I wanted to reread what I thought was the original story in the series that my teacher had read to me when I was in 3rd grade. I didn't n...
