The Camp-Out Mystery

The Aldens are going camping! But after they hear loud music in the middle of the night, notice their lantern is missing, and find a frightening note, the Boxcar Children must find out who is behind the pranks to save their vacation.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.
