"People say nothing interesting happens in the village of Port Elizabeth but, on a visit there, the Boxcar Children find a big mystery at the schoolhouse. Adapted from Gertrude Chandler Warner's story of the same name, this early reader allows children to start reading by themselves with a Boxcar Children classic."--Amazon

The Alden children travel on a Mississippi paddle-wheel steamer to visit an old family friend in his cabin near Hannibal, Missouri, and try to discover who is responsible for the mysterious activities near the house.

The Alden children, isolated in a storm at a small bus station, are led into a mystery centering on a polluted river.

While the Aldens are visiting a friend of Grandfather's at the beach, Benny finds a long-lost piece of a map to a legendary pirate treasure, a discovery that brings unwanted attention from fortune hunters.
