Synopsis

When the Aldens visit their friend Fran in Wisconsin, they can’t wait to hear her tell the story of the runaway ghost. Fran’s family ghost hasn’t been spotted in years, but the Aldens still shiver at the spooky tale of the ghost’s bell clanging after dark. Then, Violet hears a mysterious ringing in the middle of the night, and the children start to wonder — could the runaway ghost be back?

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.


Reviews

Goodreads review by Joseph

Book 98 of the Boxcar Children. This book is not a ghost story despite the title. Also, appropriate for younger readers. Lots of red herrings and clues to keep you guessing and even a ghostly cowbell. Ok, so there is a tad hint of a ghost, but nothing scary. Just a fun read that speaks to the length......more

My favorite part was when the mystery was solved. The worst part was when the girl was trying to steal the picture of buttercup. The worst character was the girl who tried to take the painting of buttercup. Auryn 10 years old, 2014......more
