First published in 1924, "The Box-Car Children" is the beloved children's classic by American grade school teacher and author, Gertrude Chandler Warner. It is the story of four orphaned siblings, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny, and their adventures living in an abandoned boxcar in the forest. The children are having fun while living in the boxcar at first, though several adults in the community are aware of their situation and are keeping an eye...

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny become trapped in a cabin by an unexpected snowstorm, which turns into an even greater adventure when they help their neighbors, a baker and his family, recover an old family secret.

The Aldens are spending a weekend at Goldwin University for Grandfathers college reunion. The children are fascinated by the mysterious clock tower overshadowing campus and they soon learn that the tower might hold the key to a valuable secret from the past! But there are strange lights coming from the clock tower at night. Is it haunted? Or is someone else searching for the secret of Goldwin University?

Grandfather has just bought a plot of land in the Rocky Mountains — complete with a ghost town! When the Aldens hear their land is haunted, they don't believe it. But when they see a ghostly figure on the main street, they know something's up. There's a mystery here and the Aldens are determined to solve it!

Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny once lived on their own in a boxcar... The Boxcar Children are spending the summer in a tiny, quiet New England fishing village. The little schoolhouse doesn't have a proper teacher, so the Aldens are teaching! There's also a very old library where nobody ever goes--nobody, that is, except for a mysterious stranger. For such a small town, Port Elizabeth has a lot of secrets! Look for more Boxcar Children adventures...

The Aldens climb a mountain and find a mystery! The hike up Old Flat Top was only supposed to take a day, but a dangerous rockslide changes everything to reveal a hidden cave that just may hold a legendary treasure!

The Alden children visit Mystery Ranch, a man in a blue hat appears, Mike's house burns down, and the uranium mine is in danger.

Jessie wants her science fair project to make a difference. So when she gets the chance to test a local creek for pollution, she can't wait to get started. But when things start going wrong with her experiment, Jessie and her siblings don't just have an experiment to investigate, they have a mystery to solve!

Benny wants adventure and finds it as he and the other Alden children help uncover the plan of those who would prevent ballooning from coming to Lloyd's Landing.
