4.0 out of 5 stars It was one of the best books I've ever read., April 3, 1998

This review is from: The Deserted Library Mystery (Boxcar Children) (Hardcover)

I liked this book because I enjoyed the part when they found a sword from a war. Somebody kept messing up the books the children organized. The kids worked for hours and hours cleaning up. The book made me want to keep reading!
