In these simple yet suspenseful tales, Jessie, Benny, Violet, and Henry Alden—the Boxcar Children—roam the American countryside finding mysteries to solve, crimes to unravel, and many new people to meet. The orphaned siblings live an idealized life under the sole guidance of a grandfather who trusts them enough to let them wander freely through their safe yet adventurous world. The tales are filled with explorations and discoveries, and fine attention to the sort of domestic practicalities—building fires, gathering food, washing up, making camp—that seem magical outside the familiar walls of home. Ideal for family read-alouds for ages five and up.
