A mysterious journal leads to a hunt for buried treasure.

When the Aldens help Aunt Jane move into a summer home on the coast, they're excited for a relaxing break in the quiet town. But when a boat called Alden Explorer washes ashore in the night, the children discover a mystery with their name written all over it--literally! Investigating further, they discover a strange journal, talk of buried treasure, and a mystery going back hundreds of years.

About the Author

Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car--just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books--a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children(R) series has more than one hundred books.
