From Booklist
In this bare-bones graphic-novel adaptation of a Boxcar Children story, the Alden children move with their grandfather into a lighthouse and are given cause to wonder about a local fisherman’s son as well as what is disturbing their own dog in the nighttime. Awkward art dangles the children’s expressions between manga and unexplained sadness, while the original independence of the foursome in the text novels is undercut by Grandfather’s regular interventions here. The attraction of a dependable cast and comfortable pacing makes this good for collections where the series has gained popularity. Grades 2-4. --Francisca Goldsmith

This review is from: The Lighthouse Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #8) (Paperback)
The Lighthouse MysteryThe Lighthouse Mystery is about a family that rents a lighthouse, and they see a lady on the beach every night. At twelve o'clock they here a person down stairs, and the dog, Watch starts barking and doesn't stop. Oh, I almost for got the charectors were Henry the big brother, Violet little sister, Benny little brother , Jessy big sister,Mr Alden the Grandfather, and Larry cook a scary stranger that becomes a friend. I don't know about you, but I loved reading it. It had so much adventure. And it always got more mysterious in each chapter.So if you don't like mysterious things, than you wouldn't want to read this book. But you never know. Your probably asking why I picked this book? Well ill tell you, I like books that have mysterys. If you dont like mysterys than i wouldnt suggest you read this book but if you do like mystery books than you would love this book so i suggest you read it and i hope you will like reading this book and theres what i think.

A Childhood Classic,
By
This review is from: The Lighthouse Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #8) (Paperback)
In the eighth book of "The Boxcar Children" series, the Alden children and their grandfather are renting a lighthouse for the summer. They anticipate a quiet summer by the sea, but find themselves investigating a mystery instead. Their dog wakes up growling each evening, and an unknown woman is seen wandering the grounds.
When the children befriend a troubled but gifted young man, Larry Cook, they discover that he is using the abandoned lighthouse keeper's cottage for scientific experiments. The boy's father has forbidden him from attending college, so Larry continues his studies in secret. When Larry becomes lost during a summer storm, will his father have a change of heart? I read this book as a child and greatly enjoyed revisiting it as an adult. The Lighthouse Mystery perfectly combines intrigue, adventure and a strong moral message. Highly recommended for young readers.
