The Boxcar Children are putting their sleuthing skills to the test in a spy competition. Can you help them take the top prize? In this interactive, choose-your-path mystery, readers will help the Aldens make decisions that will either lead them to victory or blow their cover.
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.
