Synopsis

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny didn’t think the old trunk in their house held anything interesting. But an unusual statue they find inside leads them to the Reddimus Society, a secret guild dedicated to returning lost treasures to where they belong.

Now the Aldens must help their new friends by traveling across the country with the statue and six mysterious boxes! Can the Boxcar Children keep these seven treasures out of the wrong hands?

About The Author

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 now, on the 75th anniversary of the first book, the Boxcar Children series has more than one hundred and fifty books.

A Fine Addition to the Boxcar Canon The first 19 Boxcar Children books were actually written by Gertrude Warner, (the first one in 1924, then 18 more between 1949 and 1976). After that, like The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and the like, the books were written by other authors, but always identified as "C......more

AUDIO BOOK REVIEW. I have a confession: I never read any of the original Boxcar Children series books. And I don't think any of my children did either, and I'm not sure why. This year marks 75 years they've been around, so I thought I'd check them out via the new Great Adventure series. Journey on a......more

Goodreads review by Rosie on December 21, 2016

As usual, the Boxcar Children are a great, clean series for young (and old!) readers. This took me down memory lane, since it's been a long while since I've read any of these books, but the basics are all the same. None of the characters' personalities changed to match the 21st century "need" for ro......more
