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® series has more than one hundred books.

Editorial Reviews

Gr 2-4-- The Alden children return , and are now visiting their cousins who live near an amusement park. Once settled in, they all take off for the park , and learn that the merry-go-round horses are very old and valuable. After receiving threatening phone calls warning them to stay away from the park, the children investigate and are lead into a dangerous situation. This is yet another addition to the numerous mysteries by the late author; it will entertain her many fans, and will undoubtedly create new ones.-- Elizabeth Hamilton, Miami-Dade Public Library, FL
