Now they have a home with their grandfather and are spending the summer on their own private island. There is a mysterious stranger on the island with a secret--but that's not the only surprise in store for the Boxcar Children.

A family starts out on a one-day mountain climbing excursion that becomes very exciting. In fact, it becomes an adventure for the former "boxcar" family. They unearth some mysteries and have a fine time in the process.
