Boxcar Children

First published in 1924, "The Box-Car Children" is the beloved children's classic by American grade school teacher and author, Gertrude Chandler Warner. It is the story of four orphaned siblings, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny, and their adventures living in an abandoned boxcar in the forest. The children are having fun while living in the boxcar at first, though several adults in the community are aware of their situation and are keeping an eye...

Summer vacation on an almost private island gives the Aldens a challenge. Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny used to live alone in a boxcar. Now they have a home with their grandfather and are spending the summer on their own private island. There is a mysterious stranger on the island with a secret--but that's not the only surprise in store for the Boxcar Children.

Violet and Jessie begin an adventure when they journey to Centerville to keep Aunt Jane company on the family ranch.

Benny's friend accompanies the Aldens to the South Seas for a vacation on a supposedly deserted island where they find an unusual mystery.

A mysterious woman, a dog barking every night at midnight, and a puzzling note in the sand all add up to a mysterious summer in a lighthouse.

Six children help solve the mystery of a missing spyglass that has kept two brothers feuding for years.

A friendly writer with a metal detector, the mysterious inhabitants of a tower house, and the discovery of a locket in the sand are ingredients for the Aldens' latest mystery.

The Alden children, isolated in a storm at a small bus station, are led into a mystery centering on a polluted river.
