The Alden children were searching for a home – and found a life of adventure! Beloved by generations of families, this illustrated chapter book series is full of wholesome excitement, danger, and mystery.

This autumn adventure for the Boxcar Children takes the Aldens to a New England farm that has more than its share of strange occurrences. Every year at the Beckett farm, visitors come to buy pumpkins and go on hayrides, but this year something is haunting the farm―a mysterious specter with a glowing pumpkin head that warns guests to stay away! It's up to the Aldens to find out who―or what―is behind the scare.
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.
