5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery at the Alamo, November 28, 2007

This review is from: The Mystery at the Alamo (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #58) (Paperback)

My 10 year old son loved this book. We picked this book because we were taking a trip to see the Alamo, and he had a book report due at the same time. While the book was a fictional mystery, it had many accurate facts about the Alamo. My son had a great time comparing all the things in the actual museum to the things that he read about in the book.

This review is from: The Mystery at the Alamo (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #58) (Paperback)

According to my 10 year old son, this story was very interesting and he had a hard time putting it down at night. He recommends it highly saying it is very good. It gives some good info about the Alamo. He said it was neat because he has been to the Alamo.
