The Haunted Legends Special

Wherever the Boxcar Children go, mysteries are bound to show up! These three spooky tales are perfect for Halloween: The Haunted Clock Tower Mystery (#84) When the Aldens learn that a valuable secret from the past lies hidden somewhere at Goldwin University, they think the clock tower might hold the key to uncovering it! The Ghost in the First Row (#112) The Trap-Door Theater has mysteries of its own—with rumors of ghosts, disappearing props, and even a haunted seat. The Sleepy Hollow Mystery (#141) The Aldens visit the legendary town of Sleepy Hollow where someone—or something—is scaring visitors. Three hauntingly good mysteries in one volume!

Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in 1890 in Putnam, Connecticut, where she taught school and wrote The Boxcar Children because she had often imagined how delightful it would be to live in a caboose or freight car. Encouraged by the book's success, she went on to write eighteen more stories about the Alden children.
