The Old Motel Mystery

Aunt Jane takes the Aldens to Florida to visit her friend Kay! Kay owns an old motel, but it's so rundown she thinks she might have to sell it. The Boxcar Children are happy to help her fix things up, but soon they learn someone is trying to keep the motel closed…forever.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.
