The amusement park mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner
Kids are going to visit their cousins on Surprise Island where they have spent time at the amusement center. The Carousel horses are a big hit.
Especially loved the part where the owners joined the cousins for a meal and we learn of the history of the horses and how they came to be at their park.
Scary parts and you wonder if they will be able to gather all the clues and solve the mysteries!
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

For some reason this is the boxcar children mystery I remember best, and the one I liked most. Hmm.

Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in Putnam, Connecticut on April 16, 1890. Due to her poor health, she never finished high school and studied with a tutor. During World War I, a shortage of teachers prompted the local school board to hire her to teach first grade, a position she held for over 30 years. She wrote the first Boxcar book in 1924, show more while home recuperating from an illness, but the version most people are familiar with was originally published in 1942. The Alden children became so popular that she wrote 19 adventures about them including Surprise Island, Mystery Ranch, and Snowbound Mystery. She died at age 89 August 29, 1979, but the Boxcar Children are still being written about by a team of writers faithful to her vision. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
