| Summary |
The Mystery of the Singing Ghost: The Boxcar Children are excited because their cousins are moving to Greenfield. They decide to fix up the house that cousins Joe and Alice have bought. There's just one problem: it seems to be haunted - by a ghost that sings! Is someone trying to keep Joe and Alice from moving in? The Mystery in the Snow: The lodge is having its annual winter carnival, and the Boxcar Children sign up to compete in events like skiing, skating, sledding, and building snow and ice sculptures. But no sooner has the competition begun than the children have a mystery to solve! The Pizza Mystery: The Boxcar Children are helping out at a pizzeria. The pizzeria is run by their old friends the Piccolos, who've been having lots of troubles keeping their business going. Working at the little restaurant is so much fun, but the children wonder . . . is someone deliberately trying to shut down Piccolos' Pizzeria? Three complete stories in one collection! Includes The Mystery of the Singing Ghost, The Mystery in the Snow, and The Pizza Mystery. 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. |
