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.

The Boxcar Children are spending the summer in an enormous New England farmhouse. Near the house there is an old woodshed that holds a surprising secret that dates from the Revolutionary War.

Grandfather has just bought a plot of land in the Rocky Mountains — complete with a ghost town! When the Aldens hear their land is haunted, they don't believe it. But when they see a ghostly figure on the main street, they know something's up. There's a mystery here and the Aldens are determined to solve it!

The Boxcar Children Mysteries

Every fall at the Beckett farm, visitors come to buy pumpkins and go on hayrides. Best of all, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny get to dress up in costumes and help with the fun. But something is haunting the farm . . . a mysterious ghost with a glowing pumpkin head!

When the Boxcar Children uncover a strange puzzle in a friend's backyard, it's just the beginning of the "spy game" — a search for clues leading to gold! The children must make sense of a mysterious old photo and a riddle. But soon the children begin to suspect that there's a mystery inside the mystery. Just who is behind the spy game, anyway?

It's spring, and all the baby animals are being born — a perfect time to visit the zoo. The Aldens and their friends are taking pictures there for a photo contest. But when cameras go missing and a girl is accused of cheating, the Boxcar Children must find out just who is monkeying with the contest!

The Aldens have joined a bicycle race! Three days of riding and camping should be fun for everyone. Even Grandfather has joined the race. But right from the word "Go!" things go wrong: misleading road signs by day and collapsing tents by night. Henry's first flat tire could be bad luck, but three flat tires point to foul play. But who is playing foul — and why? The Boxcar Children are determined to solve the mystery before they cross the finish...

The Aldens are all on the same soccer team, and know that winning isn't as important as having fun. But is someone trying to ruin the soccer league? Practice balls get deflated, a goalie's gloves are ruined, and a player is locked in the locker room during an important game. What's going on?
