The Mystery of the Lost Mine

The Aldens take an RV trip to Arizona, where they learn about the Lost Dutchman Mine. An old legend says the mine is filled with gold! When an old prospector goes missing while searching for it, the Boxcar Children must find him before someone else gets to the treasure.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.
