I love all of the Boxcar Children Mysteries. The author, Gertrude Chandler Warner, writes in a way so that when you are reading each of these chapter books you actually feel like you are right there in the story. Great author, great books.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Aldens and Mrs. McGregor on vacation together
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2001
As the book opens, Mrs. McGregor is not feeling like herself. So the Alden children, Henry, Jessie, Violet & Benny tried to cheer her up. Mrs, McGregor's child home might be sold, which I guess it's supposed to be an inn. Mrs. McGregor's sister lives there. In fact, Mrs. McGregor had a mystery lady visited her at her house when she was a child. But Mrs. McGregor nevered find out her name.
The children's grandfather droves them and Mrs. McGregor to her house. Mrs. McGregor's sister doesn't believe that there is a treasure in the house. Her name is Madeline. Benny had remembered in the car that he forgot a book called The Alphabet Mystery by his favorite author Amelia Quigley Adams. It turns out that Mrs. McGregor was aslo a Amelia Quigley Adams fan. And has her books at the crooked house (Mrs. McGregor's house). There is a guest that is staying there too but she isn't very nice. But the Alden children didn't think they would find a mystery. This is a must read for Boxcar Children fans.
