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.

A new Boxcar children mystery! A great fall read with my 8 year old son. The Aldens help out at a family friend's farm and get involved in a seasonal mystery regarding a missing scarecrow, tricks/property damage, and more. This surprisingly generated good conversation about motivation for trickery a......more

Book 124 of the Boxcar Children series. There was a lot going on in this one. Least of which to say the bad guy wasn’t what our who you’d think. This was one of the rare twists that aside from corporate greed, the crime was done through a misguided thought of helping. This was a good one but not you......more
