The Great Shark Mystery

The Alden children are on vacation at an aquarium in Florida. The Boxcar Children will feed the penguins, swim with dolphins, and come face-to-face with a great white shark! The shark draws crowds and thrills the park's visitors. But the Aldens soon discover that the shark is in danger—someone at the park wants it gone. The Boxcar Children are determined to fish out the crook before it's too late for the shark.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.
