This book in the Boxcar Children series involves all of thesame characters in the Alden family. In the beginning of the book,the children learn their grandfather will be traveling to Washington, D.C. for business and the children will get to go too. But because the grandfather will be busy during the day he has arranged for the children to stay at a bed and breakfast. While staying at the bed and breakfast the children meet many fascinating characters who all become suspects in the disappearance of items from the bed and breakfast. The children also make friends with a girl named Almira who is being followed by men in dark suits and sunglasses. While you enjoy the mystery you also get some great information about Washington, D.C. The children visit monuments and museums and share with readers some of the wonderful sights they see. It is a great book to read while studying Washington, D.C. in school. I highly recommend it - my third grade class really enjoyed it.

The Alden's are having a birthday party company, and it comes with a mystery. The houses on the street have safes, and the houses are being robbed! The safes have valubale things in them. And the Alden's posters have dissapeared! Can the Alden's solve this mystery?

My children have always enjoyed the Box Car Children series of books. As a hot air balloon pilot, we could not ignore a Box Car Children book with a balloon theme. I found the accuracy of the text to be very true and also a good source for children to learn about the sport of ballooning. I did some researce about the author and found that she died years before sport ballooning became popular. The "mystery" to me is "who wrote this book"? It must have been a balloon pilot or a balloon crew person. To find out what a balloon crew person does...read the book.

This book is great i give it a 4 stars because Henry,Jessie, Violet, and Benny are staying in the humid and also try Arizona desert. One of the neighbors tells the Alden's the legend of the Lost Dutchman's Mine. also they meet jake an old prospector who has been looking for the Lost Mine many people say that he has gold fever.the boxcar children and their grandpa solove the mystery!

Interesting.Gives me a much stronger "mystery" feeling than most of the others.That is not to say that it's better.My impression is that the emphasis is more on the story than on the Alden children.It is interesting anyway... :)

The book was comprehensive enough for new players, yet challenging enough for the veteran guitarist. Farmiliar tunes keep toes tappin long after the book is closed. A great buy!

The sole survivor of a plane crash finds himself bound to a wheel chair and facing months of rehabilitation. His physical and mental scars, however, are the least of his worries. Bizarre supernatural manifestations begin to occur and it seems as though Death itself and the forces of Hell want another chance at his soul... This is another, highly entertaining horror novel from Warner Lee. He really pulls out all the stops with this one. The manifestations that plague the protagonist are nightmarish and wild and the story has a fun, b-movie flavor to it. Hard to find, but recommended for horror fans.

the boxcar children goes to a town where it is made to look like frontier times.they dress up like them and sees buildings that look old.then when a lady starts working here,weird things happen.can the boxcar figure this mystery?read to find out!

The album itself is an amazing piece of work, and this book is a very solid, decent interpretaion of the music on the album. If you must learn how to play any of the songs on AFTP, this is definitely the best source I have seen to help in this regard. C'est tout.

Excellent reference. Along the lines of, but just not as good as, Miller's classic Review of Orthopaedics.
