I love boxcar children!! There has not been ONE book of the series that I don't like. First of all, you know it won't be scary but it is still interesting. In this one Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny go on a canoe trip with their Aunt Jane and along the way some mysterious things happen and while meeting new people they solve a new mystery. If only they could write the books at a harder reading level... I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries that are not to scary.

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
