5.0 out of 5 stars
My first experience with the boxcar children,
By Mark Larsen (savage102@hotmail.com) (Eugene, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Houseboat Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #12) (Hardcover)
The Houseboat Mystery was the first book that I read in The Boxcar Children Mysteries series. I began reading these books when I was nine and continued to do so throughout my fourth grade year. These are excellent books for children in this age group. Boys and girls alike should enjoy them. I'm twenty five now and can still remember these fascinating stories. I remember that after I had read all of the books in this series that my school library had to offer, I was stuck on mystery books. I read mystery titles from other authors that my library had in stock, but none compared to these. I wish that I could thank the author personally.

Wonderful for younger kids!,
By Jess (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Houseboat Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #12) (Paperback)
Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are taking a trip downriver in a houseboat! But along the way, many mysterious things happen. The Aldens have solved mysteries before, but can they sove this one? I would recommend this book for kids ages 5-9. They can follow the Aldens along for all of their mysteries, making friends, and giving help to everyone!

This review is from: Houseboat Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #12) (Paperback)
We purchased this to continue to complete our BC Mysteries collection. Even though the books were written decades ago, our family loves the simplicity of the adventures that are described in the book. They can't wait to solve the mystery before the characters!
