The Boxcar Children Mysteries

The Boxcar Children join a basketball team and are thrilled to find out the famous Buzz and Tipper Nettleton are their coaches! But when practice schedules get mixed up, and Tipper's Most Valuable Player trophy goes missing, the Aldens know there's been foul play. Can they find the culprit?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.
