The Mystery at the Ballpark

Jessie and Violet join Greenfield's new baseball team, and Henry and Benny get jobs helping out. But someone is rooting against them. A special bat is stolen, Jessie's glove disappears, and the team almost misses their first game.Can the Aldens solve the mystery and save their team?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.
