Synopsis

The zoo is wonderful — it has seals and giraffes and elephants and tigers, and Benny’s favorite, a little monkey named Amos. It also has a mystery. Someone is mixing up signs, switching off electricity, and endangering the animals’ lives. If the Boxcar Children want to save the animals, they’ll have to solve the mystery — and fast!

About The Author

The Boxcar Children Series was created by Gertrude Chandler Warner, a teacher, when she realized that there were few, if any, books for children that were both easy and fun to read. She drew on her own experiences in writing the mysteries. As a child, she had spent hours watching trains near her home, and often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car. In each story, she chose a special setting and introduced unpredictable, unusual or eccentric characters, to help highlight the Aldens’ independence and resourcefulness. Miss Warner lived in Putnam, Massachusetts until her death in 1979.

Goodreads review by Nikki

The kids just loved the animals and the who done-it mystery. I find myself rolling my eyes at the constant need to remind us of the same background details that we know by heart by book #26. And when did this become Scooby-Doo? The latest books have the villain du jour saying, “I would have got away......more

Goodreads review by Joseph

Book 26 of the Boxcar Children. Those Alden children cannot even go to the zoo without being neck deep in a mystery. This one was a lot of fun with enough suspects to keep Scooby-Doo guessing. Loving the deeper mysteries and glad to see the direction the series is going. Looking forward to the next......more

Goodreads review by Mary

My 7-year-old son enjoys the Boxcar Children, and I enjoyed the series as a kid, but I just can't get into them as an adult. They move slowly and aren't all that interesting. What was good about this one is that we listened to it on a 2 hr drive to the zoo, so that was a fun connection.......more
