The Boxcar Children Mysteries

"Siblings Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny used to live in a boxcar. Now they have adventures everywhere they go. What secrets will the children find on their very own island?"--

While staying at a hotel in New York City, the Aldens investigate a series of annoying pranks plaguing the management and guests.

Four orphaned children run away and live in a boxcar, until they are found by their grandfather. Includes a biography and photographs of the author.

The children and their grandfather spend the summer traveling on a train--in their own caboose.

The Aldens have promised Grandfather a vacation from mysteries during their island visit. But the promise proves hard to keep when things start to go missing. Then an old fisherman tells Benny of the island's ghost horse, and late that very night Benny sees a mysterious stallion galloping down the beach. Could the ghost horse have something to do with the disappearances?

The Aldens visit Ireland and stay in a beautiful castle that's now a hotel! But the caretaker seems very superstitious, and at night they see a mysterious figure who walks the halls carrying a lantern. Could it be one of the banshees of ancient legend? The Boxcar Children must discover the secret that Duncarraig castle is hiding!

A family, snowbound in a vacation cabin, discovers adventure in surrounding wild life, three children they find in the snow, and a search for a lost recipe.

When they help out at a guide dog training school, the Alden children meet several people who seem obsessed with a particular dog named Ginger.
