Four brave siblings were searching for a home – and found a life of adventure! Join the Boxcar Children as they investigate some suspicious activity at a bus station in this illustrated chapter book series beloved by generations of readers.
The Boxcar Children take a bus trip to the Science and Hobby Fair, but a bad storm forces them to stay at a bus station along the way. Soon they are in the middle of a mystery involving a polluted river, two strange boys, and a suspicious bus-station manager.
What started as a single story about the Alden Children has delighted readers for generations and sold more than 80 million books worldwide. Featuring timeless adventures, mystery, and suspense, The Boxcar Children® series continues to inspire children to learn, question, imagine, and grow.
Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car—just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books—a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.
