The Mystery of the Purple Pool - (Boxcar Children Mysteries) (Paperback)

About the Book

A trip to New York City with Grandfather promises the Aldens all the excitement a big city has to offer and more--there's a mystery to solve, right in their own hotel.

Book Synopsis

The Aldens can't wait to go sightseeing in New York City, but they don't have to look beyond their hotel to find a mystery. Messy rooms and missing phones are just the start of the problem. When someone dyes the pool purple, the Boxcar Children have to find the culprit before the pranks go too far.

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.
