This review is from: The Old Motel Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #23) (Paperback)

I think this book is about four children who go on a mystery while on vacation in Florida. But when they get there they have to solve a mystery behind their friend Millson. And the mystery about who should be blamed for the motel. My favorite part was when they learned who did the terrible things. I think kids 7 and up should read this book.
